Summary
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Sentinel-1A satellite were acquired for this study from the Alaska Satellite Facility and used to generate spatially detailed land-surface deformation maps (interferograms) for the Pajaro Valley during 2015 through 2018 using conventional Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) workflows.

Brandt, J.T., Earll, M.M., Sneed, M., and Henson, W., 2021, Detection and measurement of land-surface deformation, Pajaro Valley, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, California, 2015–18: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2021–1101, 16 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20211101.
The purpose of this data release is to present InSAR-derived land-surface deformation data in the Pajaro Valley basin from 2015 through 2018. The relation of geology, groundwater levels, and land-surface deformation is analyzed in the related USGS Open File Report (OFR) to better understand the hydromechanical response of the coastal aquifer system under varied hydrologic conditions. Water-level and land-surface deformation data are presented in a historical context to assess stress-strain regimes (recoverable or permanent land-surface deformation).
