Linear erosion is a natural phenomenon. However, inadequate occupation of the environment or the implementation of engineering works, without the due care, accelerates this process, which has been acknowledged as the main cause of land degradation worldwide. The use of high-resolution satellite imaging to map risk areas for this process, may contribute to devising prevention strategies. Linear erosion is a process dependent on thresholds controlled by many variables. This study has used only topographic variables (altimetry, slope, curvature profile, curvature plan, slope orientation, accumulation flow, humidity index, sediment transport capacity, potential flow and drainage network) ...
