... We endorse all of these goals, especially the InSAR satellite, which is identified as the top priority of the SESWG report. Longer-term goals focus on new instruments that would capture information about solidearth processes, and how they are changing over time, with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to guide mechanistic models useful for making reliable natural hazard forecasts.
