Our aim was to properly define subsidence and uplift areas to delineate a geothermal field and perform time-series analysis to identify temporal trends. A Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) algorithm was used to estimate vertical displacement in the Brady geothermal field located in Nevada by analyzing 70 Sentinel-1A Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) images, between January 2017 and December 2019. To classify zones affected by displacement, an unsupervised Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm was applied to classify points based on their behavior in time, and those clusters were used to determine subsidence, uplift, and stable regions automatically. Finally, time-series analysis was applied to the clustered data to understand the inflection dates. The maximum subsidence is \u201319 mm\/yr with an average value of \u20136 mm\/yr within the geothermal field. The maximum uplift is 14 mm\/yr with an average value of 4 mm\/yr within the geothermal field. The uplift occurred on the NE of the field, where the injection wells are located. On the other hand, subsidence is concentrated on the SW of the field where the production wells are located. The coupling of the PSInSAR and the SOM algorithms was shown to be effective in analyzing the direction and pattern of the displacements observed in the field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13030349","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,21]],"date-time":"2021-01-21T00:53:41Z","timestamp":1611190421000},"page":"349","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Displacement Analysis of Geothermal Field Based on PSInSAR And SOM Clustering Algorithms A Case Study of Brady Field, Nevada\u2014USA"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Mahmut","family":"Cavur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Management Information System Department, Kadir Has University, \u0130stanbul 34083, Turkey"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4483-9900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaime","family":"Moraga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]},{"given":"H.
