The grain harbour of Odesa in 3D: silos and quays along the empty harbour, from the Sentinel-2 image of 3 October 2026 and OpenStreetMap buildings

Case study · Black Sea · July–October 2026

The grain is trapped. Not missing.

On 10 July 2026 Russia closed the Kerch Strait. It carried 11 ships a day in June and one in all of September.
For the first time in this war, both shores of the Black Sea are constrained at once. We followed the trade, the fuel, the food, and six of the ports from space.

Case study · Venezuela · 24 June 2026

Four million people. No damage grading.

Seven areas the satellites never graded, four of them timed image by image against open captures.
Catia La Mar, on the coast Copernicus did grade, rebuilt in 3D: 9,131 buildings, each coloured by its grade.

The Budhi Gandaki valley near Jagat in 3D: a sharp image of the valley from before the flood, with the mud channel measured on 11 October drawn in blue and red and the buildings beside it in pink

Case study · Nepal · 11 October 2026

A river of mud. Measured in hours.

Before dawn on 11 October, a torrent of mud and rocks ran about 65 km down the Syar Khola and the Budhi Gandaki to Arughat.
We read the open satellite data of that morning and every mapped building along the river.

The Fujairah anchorage on Sentinel-1 radar, 13 October 2026: each bright point a ship at anchor

Case study · Strait of Hormuz · January–October 2026

The strait all but emptied. Outside it, the anchorages filled.

…
Outside it, radar satellites count far more ships at anchor off Fujairah, Khor Fakkan and Sohar than before the war. Every attack on a named ship or site is dated and sourced.
