Use Cases

• Modeling annual soil loss budgets based on monthly erosion rates.
• Assessing regional land degradation and conservation needs based on hillslope erosion intensity.
• Calibrating or validating hydrological or erosion models based on geospatial soil loss data.

Strengths

• Provides monthly temporal resolution for the year 2008.
• Covers the entire state of New South Wales, offering a regional geospatial scope.
• Data is provided in the standard GEOTIFF format for GIS analysis.
