Following are color versions of selected images from the manuscript. The important features of these images are much more perceptible in color than in the grayscale versions in the manuscript.

Figure 18. IFSAR-based terrain motion map showing land subsidence in Las Vegas, Nevada over a nearly four-year period. (a) IFSAR-based terrain motion map. Subsidence is significant primarily in the outlined regions, with the subsidence being greatest in the darker region in the upper left quadrant.
