Coastal sea level changes measured by tide gauges are affected by the severity of coastal land motion. Subsidence due to natural and anthropogenic activities in the coastal regions were directly exacerbates the tide gauge records. In this study, we aim to monitor the coastal land motion at the tide gauges in Korean peninsula using multi-temporal InSAR techniques. We present the methodology that simply employs the selection of sequential and small temporal interferograms in the StaMPS-SBAS technique for increased coherent PS pixels over coastal regions. C-band Sentinel-1 SAR data from ascending and descending mode were acquired over Pohang and Yeosu regions to map the coastal land motion. The preliminary results showed significant increased number of initial PS pixel density than conventional StaMPS-SBAS technique, chosen by Amplitude-Dispersion Index (ADI) and revealed the subsidence about 2 cm/year in Pohang tide gauge and small uplift of 1.46 mm/year near Yeosu tide gauge.
