Abstract

The dataset contains Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)-derived Global Coastal Vertical Land Motion (VLM) for 204 cities. Locations include 15 cities in North America, 14 in South America, 15 in Africa, 24 in Europe, 134 in Asia, and 2 in Oceania. Researchers can visualize and extract values, including latitude and longitude information, using any GIS softwares, or any programming language. GIA stands for glacial isostatic adjustment.The data set contains 1 file with 6 columns: Column 1: Longitude in degColumn 2: Latitude in deg Column 3: Total VLM (mm_per_year) Column 4: GIA VLM (mm_per_year) Column 5: % non GIA contribution Column 6: Consistent vs non-consistent
