Use Cases

• Modeling annual soil loss budgets based on monthly erosion rates.
• Identifying erosion hotspots and seasonal patterns across New South Wales.
• Calibrating or validating hydrological or land surface models based on geospatial soil erosion data.
• Informing land management and conservation policy with spatially explicit erosion estimates.

Strengths

• Data covers a full calendar year (2012) with monthly temporal resolution.
