Description

This dataset contains pixel offset tracking (POT) results and differential interferometric SAR (DInSAR) data derived from Sentinel-1 SAR imagery, focusing on the Mw 7.7 earthquake that occurred in Myanmar on March 28, 2025. The data were collected from ascending tracks T070 and T143, and descending tracks T033 and T106, covering the southern segment of the Sagaing Fault, which represents the primary rupture zone of the earthquake.

Based on the combined POT and DInSAR results, we confirm that the 2025 Mw 7.7 Myanmar earthquake produced a large-scale right-lateral strike-slip rupture along the Sagaing Fault. The rupture extends approximately 500 km, with a maximum azimuthal displacement of about 4 meters, a maximum range  displacement of about 1 meter, and a maximum LOS  displacement of about 0.4 meters.

The data were processed by the InSAR team at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). This dataset is valuable for studies of earthquake-induced deformation, fault slip distribution, rupture dynamics, and seismic hazard assessment.
