  "abstract": "Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is intrinsically insensitive to the north-south component of crustal motion because of its near-polar geometry, which makes accurate quantification of this deformation a persistent limitation of InSAR. We introduce a Multi-track Time-Series Burst-Overlap Interferometry (MTSB) framework that delivers absolute, ITRF-referenced deformation fields across representative interseismic, coseismic, and postseismic applications by combining optimized phase linking, a unified time-series framework for separating deformation and residual misregistration, and block-wise spectral analysis. Case studies spanning co-, inter-, and postseismic phases demonstrate that MTSB accurately resolves along-track horizontal deformation, with primary sensitivity to north-south motion, while substantially reducing orbit-related artifacts. Independent comparisons with GNSS indicate centimeter-level agreement for postseismic and coseismic displacement estimates and millimeter-per-year agreement for interseismic velocities. The resulting deformation fields improve constraints on regional plate kinematics and fault kinematics, facilitate more reliable Euler-pole estimation, and provide by-product orbital corrections for conventional InSAR processing.",
