Global map of NISAR L-band data coverage. All land up to 77 degrees north latitude is covered, shown by a green color on the map. Some areas of ocean adjacent to land are also included.

Map of north central Venezuela with surface displacements due to large earthquake shown with color. Coast from Morón east past Caracas moved as much as 60 cm west (blue tones) due to slip on fault offshore. Red tones show eastward displacement north of the fault near Morón and in Catia La Mar of the La Guaira coastal state.

Map of north-central Venezuela with NISAR line-of-sight displacement map shown in false color varying from red to white to blue. Red land moved east (towards satellite) and blue land moved west. InSAR only measures land, so ocean and lakes have no measurements. Background map from Google satellite natural-color images on land and bathymetry in ocean.
