GIS-technology and data of earth remote sensing to identify and predict ravine erosion development

This article discusses the study of the process of ravine erosion using geoinformation technologies and Earth remote sensing data. Ravine erosion, which develops on the territory of the Verkhneuslonsky municipal region of the Republic of Tatarstan, is considered as a multifactorial process. The possibility of using freely available data to study the factors affecting ravine erosion is evaluated. It is shown that in modern conditions of increased anthropogenic environmental impact, especially in areas heavily divided by ravines, the use of GIS technology is sufficient in order to monitor and quickly respond to negative erosion processes occurring on agricultural lands.
