Track recent event signals and monitor South Korea from space — geolocated events, the most active areas, and satellite imagery in one place. Free to browse on the Delta Watchfloor.
Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is
You can monitor South Korea from space on Off-Nadir Delta — viewing Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, tracking any area over time with anomaly detection, and overlaying geolocated event signals (from global news media) and active fires. In the past 7 days, 25 event signals were recorded in and around South Korea, most in the kinetic category.

Why Analysts Watch South Korea From Space
South Korea hosts the world’s largest shipyards and one of its tensest borders. Satellite monitoring spans commercial shipbuilding activity at Ulsan and Geoje, container flows through Busan, and the heavily instrumented Demilitarized Zone.
Typical monitoring angles
- Shipyard activity at Ulsan and Geoje visible in high-resolution optical and SAR
- Container throughput proxies at Busan, a top-ten global port
- Summer monsoon flooding in the Han River basin
