Technical Abstract: The objective of this workshop will be to provide participants with the basic knowledge for the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing tools for quantifying the spatial and temporal patterns of erosion and water quality across the landscape. Techniques for combining satellite and aircraft remotely sensed data with Digital Elevation Modelling (DEM) and ground data in a GIS will be discussed to show ways to extend point data to field and regional scales. Case studies will be provided to let the participants follow the sequence of events from measurements to maps of soil loss and water quality.
