Cumulative Displacement Map

Cumulative LOS displacement map for Kerman ending 2026-10-17
Cumulative LOS displacement (2026-06-19 to 2026-10-17, 9 NISAR L2 GUNW pairs).

What This Means

  • Ground in Kerman subsided up to -6.1 cm LOS (-5.1 cm/100d) between 2026-06-19 and 2026-10-17, consistent with active seasonal compaction.
  • About 11,052 residents live on ground sinking faster than 2 cm per 108 days (and 100 residents across 2.34 km2 faster than 5 cm per 108 days, above the 0.52 cm 2-sigma noise floor).
  • No local GNSS or canal-tilt overlay is bundled for this subset; field inspection and local piezometer records are needed to confirm infrastructure impacts.
Calibration & Quality Notice (PROVISIONAL): NISAR data are provisional. Calibration and validation are carried out by the NISAR project (NASA-JPL and ISRO), not by our team.
