Turkey: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Turkey 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 Turkey 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, 3 event signals were recorded in and around Turkey, most in the kinetic category.

Most active areas
Event data powered by the GDELT Project. Figures cover the mapped region around Turkey and update hourly. For situational awareness only — not for tracking or targeting individuals.
Why Analysts Watch Turkey From Space
Turkey straddles two of the world’s most active fault zones and its two busiest strait systems. The 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes showed how fast SAR damage mapping has become; the Bosphorus remains a permanent maritime watch point, and southeastern dams reshape water flows into Syria and Iraq.
Typical monitoring angles
- Earthquake damage and ground deformation along the Anatolian faults with InSAR-style SAR comparison
- Shipping through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles
- Reservoir levels on the Euphrates-Tigris dam system
Monitor Turkey From Space
Off-Nadir Delta lets you watch Turkey without any GIS software. View Sentinel-1 SAR (all-weather, day or night) and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, draw any area to build a time series with anomaly detection, and overlay active fires.
The Delta Watchfloor adds the event layer: geolocated signals in and around Turkey, ranked by severity, that you can connect to satellite imagery in one tip-and-cue workflow.
