Ground Deformation of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii, 2016-2018, from InSAR

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a satellite remote sensing technique that quantifies line-of-sight ground deformation. This dataset covers cumulative deformation over the Big Island, Hawaii, from May 21, 2016 through October 20, 2018. The eruption of Kilauea Volcano began on May 3, 2018 and ended on August 4, 2018. Sentinel-1 interferograms were processed using ISCE2 and MintPy software, with atmospheric and topographic corrections applied.
