Land Subsidence Estimates for San Francisco International Airport from Satellite Radar

Geospatially referenced estimates of vertical land motion across the San Francisco International Airport. The dataset contains longitude, latitude, vertical land motion in cm/yr, and its standard deviation. It was authored by Oluwaseyi Dasho and last updated on April 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling ground deformation rates based on vertical land motion (VLM) measurements.
• Mapping spatial patterns of subsidence or uplift based on latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Assessing measurement uncertainty for infrastructure planning based on VLM standard deviation values.

Strengths

• Dataset is 10.5 MB in size, indicating a manageable download.
• Data is released under a permissive CC0-1.0 license.
• Includes uncertainty estimates via the VLM standard deviation column.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
