Velocity time series app

Use the app below to interactively inspect the displacement time series for an area in Turkey. Data were generated using LiCSBAS, which is described below. Data citation: Weiss, J. et al. (2020).

Deriving velocities and time series using LiCSBAS

LiCSBAS is an open-source SAR interferometry (InSAR) time series analysis package that integrates with LiCSAR data to produce displacement time series and velocities. The outputs can be explored in an interactive time series viewer (see the example below) or exported for further analysis.
