Pre-eruption ground deformation maps at Kilauea (Hawai`i, USA): 2014-2017 and 2018.

Vertical displacement (velocity) maps of Kilauea (Hawai`i, USA) derived from InSAR, for the time periods 2014-2017 and 2018. Vertical velocity data were obtained by processing Sentinel-1 ascending and descending SAR data (tracks 124 and 87, respectively). Data were processed using the JPL-developed InSAR Scientific Computing Environment (ISCE) open-source software package, and further time-series analysis was performed using the MintPy software toolbox (Miami INsar Time-series software in PYthon), developed at the University of Miami. An SRTM-derived Digital Elevation Model is also provided. These data were generated for figures in: Farquharson, J. I. and Amelung, F. [2020], "Extreme rainfall triggered the 2018 rift eruption at Kīlauea Volcano." https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2172-5
