The 2022 Afghanistan Earthquake: Crustal deformation detected by ALOS-2 data
Released: June 30, 2022, Japanese version of this page SummaryAn earthquake (M 5.9, USGS) occurred in Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan on June 21, 2022 (UTC). To measure the crustal deformation caused by this earthquake, we applied interferometric analysis using ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 data.The analysis clearly revealed the spatial distribution of crustal deformation.
