The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Generic Mapping Tools Version 6 (2019, methodology): “GMT is also a prerequisite foundation for other high ‐ level tools used by the scienti ﬁ c community, including MB ‐ System (Caress & Chayes, 1996) for multibeam bathymetry and backscatter processing and GMTSAR (Sandwell et al., 2011) for interferometric radar processing.”
High‐resolution interseismic velocity data along the San Andreas Fault from GPS and InSAR (2013, methodology): “We adopted a “leap frog” approach [Sandwell and Sichoix, 2000; Sandwell et al., 2011] to align every image in this baseline-time plot to one image (called “super master”).”
LiCSBAS: An Open-Source InSAR Time Series Analysis Package Integrated with the LiCSAR Automated Sentinel-1 InSAR Processor (2020, background): “Whilst several free software packages have been developed and are available for InSAR processing (e.g., GMTSAR [13,14], ISCE [15,16], SNAP [17]) and time series analysis (GIAnT [18,19], MintPy [20,21], and StaMPS [3,22]), they remain technically complex and can be challenging to use for nonexperts.”
Persistent Scatterer Interferometry: A review (2016, background): “These devices, installed in situ, provide a strong response in the SAR images resulting in good interferometric phases to derive the deformation estimates (Sarabandi and Chiu, 1996; Doerry, 2008).”
