Where land is exposed to the wind, there is an increased chance of soil erosion. Using high resolution topographic data, it is possible to quickly identify areas prone to wind exposure. Combining maps of potential wind exposure with data on rainfall, soil type and moisture content amongst other factors, you can fully realise the effects of – and therefore ways to mitigate – soil erosion across your assets. For more information, take a look at an example wind exposure map in the map viewer. An information sheet on wind exposure and soil erosion is available here.
