Abstract
A methodology is described for mapping and monitoring the erosion of soil by water, using remote sensing techniques and the universal soil loss equation as the primary tools. Four aspects are covered: mapping baseline sheet and rill erosion, monitoring actual rill and gully erosion, estimating changes in potential sheet and rill erosion, and determining long-term trends. A successful field evaluation of the methodology was undertaken in a potato-growing area of New Brunswick. The implementation of the procedure using state-of-the-art microcomputer and satellite remote sensing technology is proposed. Key words: Soil erosion, remote sensing, geographic information systems
