Monthly Hillslope Cover Erosion Over New South Wales for 2004

New South Wales monthly hillslope cover erosion data for 2004, measured in tonnes per hectare per month. The dataset is provided by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling soil loss and sediment yield based on monthly erosion rates.
• Analyzing seasonal patterns in hillslope erosion based on the monthly time series.
• Assessing land cover impact on soil stability based on erosion data.
• Calibrating hydrological models with geospatial erosion estimates.

Strengths

• Data covers a full calendar year (2004) for temporal analysis.
• Provides geospatial data for the entire state of New South Wales.
• Erosion is measured in a standard scientific unit (tonnes per hectare per month).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
