Detecting Erosion Vulnerability in HUC 12 Watersheds by Jonathan Byham (GPI Geospatial)

Agricultural lands can often become susceptible to water erosion, which can lead to soil nutrient export and downstream water quality problems. By analyzing LiDAR digital earth models, soil data, land cover, precipitation data and culvert locations, a vulnerability index can be created. This presentation dives into GPI Geospatial's work on identifying vulnerable areas within HUC 12 watersheds with a case study from a recent project, and will give detailed insight on how GPI's team used various ArcGIS processing techniques to deliver our clients their final data.
