A set of 38, 30 x 30 m resolution rasters of the subsidence over Mexico City and part of its metropolitan area, has been made available through this work. Subsidence rates in Mexico, one of the most populated cities in the world, reaches up to 0.4 m/yr, mainly due to soil compaction led by over exploitation of the Mexico Basin aquifer. To accurately map the spatial and temporal evolution of this phenomena, a set of Synthetic Aperture Radar images has been processed through interferometry and the results have been formatted as rasters that can be read and analyzed on any Geographic Information System. Moreover, the whole set of rasters can be visualized as interactive animated time series of the subsidence, through the journal platform.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
