Sentinel-1 data from the @CopernicusEu have been used to derive the co-seismic ground motion after the M6.0 earthquake close to Elassona (Greece), that took place on 03/03/2021. The earthquake was quite severe leading to several damages in the area.

The estimated subsidence phenomena in the area reached about -38cm in the Line of Sight of the satellites.

The past year has been marked by a series of successive conjunctures of increased hope for overcoming the pandemic, while lately, after the waves of health crisis and restrictions, we experience a strong energy crisis.

Nevertheless, the growth indicators show a positive course and form forward-looking conditions for those economic agents who have shown flexibility while trying to adapt to the volatile data of the time.

Sustainable engineering and environmentally friendly projects include the use of resources in a way that does not endanger the environment and destroy materials which are going to be used by future generations (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2021).

Engineers play an important role in understanding climate change and in creating the necessary infrastructure to help address its consequences. That is why sustainability is a core value of Consortis.
