Summary

Datasets contain vertical land motion (VLM) rates (land uplift and subsidence) derived from Sentinel-1 A/B satellites between 2015 and 2023 for the Alaska coastline. Files are available as csv files.

Imagery Data

  • Vertical land motion rates for the years 2015 to 2023 - Norton Sound, Alaska

    This dataset contains rates of land subsidence and uplift derived from Sentinel-1A/B (2015-2023) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites for the Alaska coastline along Norton Sound. The data consist of vertical land motion (VLM) rates and the 1-sigma error in land motion rates and are available as a csv file.
