Cover Story: The devastating M 7.8 and M 7.5 earthquakes that occurred on 6 Feb. 2023 in Turkey's East Anatolian fault system caused widespread damage and collapse of structures in densely populated areas throughout the southern Turkey and northern Syria region, as well as a very large number of human losses. Utilizing Copernicus Sentinel-2 products and the Normalized Cross Correlation algorithm (NCC) of image matching, this study examines the correlation of the ground deformation induced by the earthquakes, with the critical exposure of the infrastructures (education, museums, libraries, hospitals, monuments, airports, roads and railways) of Gaziantep and Kahramanmaraş cities.
