Abstract
Soil erosion is the main factor in the degradation of agricultural lands. The goal of research is to develop an effective tool for controlling and monitoring erosion processes. The existing methods are characterized by certain limitations for their application, including high cost, labor intensity, and time frame. Among the latest methods is the D-InSAR Technology. Its application was tested at one of the erosion test sites of the NSC “Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry Research named after O.N. Sokolovsky”, nearby Kharkiv, Ukraine, with difficult terrain conditions. The results of this application showed a good correlation with erosion modeling data. They also made it possible to localize the manifestations of erosion processes in different time periods. Hence, it can be concluded that the method can be used to quickly indicate and localize the process of soil washout and identify the main types of its manifestations.
