Abstract

On 12 May 2008, a severe earthquake of magnitude 8.0 on the Richter scale occurred in Wenchuan Country, Sichuan, China. It caused heavy losses in human life and property. The remote sensing technology has played an active role in Wenchuan earthquake monitoring and assessment. In this paper, the detection and the analysis of disasters in Beichuan Country where the earthquake damage was terrible, using the satellite data of ALOS-PRISM/AVNIR-2/PALSAR and TERRAASTER/ MODIS, are described. The changes of Tangjia Mountain dammed lake in Beichuan Country are also shown. The satellite data from 31 March 2007 to 21 November 2009 are used.
