Global Positioning System Survey data for 2015, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Data for 1995-2017, Coachella Valley, Riverside County, California
February 27, 2020
GPS data collection: GPS measurements were taken at 24 geodetic monuments during September 27-October 2, 2015. The GPS surveys generally followed established guidelines (Zilkoski and others, 1997), except that the data were processed with single-baseline, rather than multi-baseline, software. GPS measurements were recorded at the monuments on at least 2 different days during 1-hour observation periods. Of the 24 geodetic monuments, 7 were network control stations - DUNE, COCH, DEEP, CAHU, PAIN, C101, and G70; GPS measurements were recorded at these seven stations on 3 additional days during 6.5-hour (or longer) observation periods. InSAR data collection: The data set consists of twenty-four individual interferograms and two stacked interferograms. Of the twenty-four individual interferograms, two interferograms were processed from synthetic aperture radar data acquired by the German Aerospace Center's (DLR) TerraSAR-X satellite and twenty-two interferograms were processed from synthetic aperture radar data acquired by the European Space Agency's (ESA) Sentinel-1A satellite. The two stacked interferograms were created by summing multiple individual interferograms. Radar data used to produce the interferograms shown in this report were obtained from the European Space Agency through their free and open data policy and the German Aerospace Center through research proposal GEO1609 for purposes of research and development.

Detection and measurement of land subsidence and uplift using Global Positioning System surveys and interferometric synthetic aperture radar, Coachella Valley, California, 2010–17
Groundwater has been a major source of agricultural, recreational, municipal, and domestic supply in the Coachella Valley of California since the early 1920s. Pumping of groundwater resulted in groundwater-level declines as large as 50 feet (ft) or 15 meters (m) by the late 1940s. Because of concerns that the declines could cause land subsidence, the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD...
