     abstract = "{Subsidence induced by groundwater depletion is a grave problem in many
        regions around the world, leading to a permanent loss of
        groundwater storage within an aquifer and even producing
        structural damage at the Earth's surface. California's Tulare
        Basin is no exception, experiencing about a meter of subsidence
        between 2015 and 2020. However, understanding the relationship
        between changes in groundwater volumes and ground deformation
        has proven difficult. We employ surface displacement
        measurements from Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar
        (InSAR) and gravimetric estimates of terrestrial water storage
        from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)
        satellite pair to characterize the hydrological dynamics within
        the Tulare basin. The removal of the long-term aquifer
        compaction from the InSAR time series reveals coherent short-
        term variations that correlate with hydrological features. For
        example, in the winter of 2018-2019 uplift is observed at the
        confluence of several rivers and streams that drain into the
        southeastern edge of the basin. These observations, combined
        with estimates of mass changes obtained from the orbiting GRACE
        satellites, form the basis for imaging the monthly spatial
        variations in water volumes. This approach facilitates the quick
        and effective synthesis of InSAR and gravimetric datasets and
        will aid efforts to improve our understanding and management of
        groundwater resources around the world.}",
