Monthly Hillslope Cover Erosion Rates Across New South Wales for 2023

2023 Monthly Hillslope Cover Erosion provides individual monthly soil erosion rates measured in tonnes per hectare per month across New South Wales, Australia. The dataset was published by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. It was last updated on the platform in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling annual soil loss budgets based on monthly erosion rates.
• Analyzing seasonal erosion patterns across New South Wales.
• Assessing the impact of land cover changes on hillslope erosion.
• Calibrating regional hydrological or erosion models with geospatial data.

Strengths

• Provides data for a full calendar year (2023).
• Covers the entire state of New South Wales.
• Data is available in a geospatial format (GEOTIFF).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the underlying data is from 2023.
