SINGAPORE, March 8 /Standard Newswire/ -- Researchers from the Centre for Remote Imaging, Sensing and Processing (CRISP) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have successfully processed a series of satellite radar images that revealed Haitian land surface changes caused by the 12 January 2010 earthquake that occurred about 25 km from the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. The results, obtained for the first time by CRISP researchers using the Japanese satellite 'Alos-Palsar', suggest that the length of the rupture was shorter than the original estimation which spanned from Petit Goave to the south of Port-au-Prince. This implies that the other part of the fault is still under constraints and may break in future. Full Story
