What is it about?
This briefly explains how to use InSAR and LiDAR data to quantify land-sinking in large areas with slow motions. Nowadays, SAR data covers almost the entire globe and it is free to use in some cases, there are also several open-source software options which I mention in the article.

Why is it important?
I show some advantages of using LiDAR and InSAR technologies and how they could help decision-making for local governments in coastal areas where sea level rise is worsened by land sinking.
Perspectives
I enjoyed writing this short piece because it introduces technologies that can be taught and learned with free resources created by a very responsive community that appreciates sharing their knowledge and feedback.
