Soil erosion destroys fertile land, increases pollution in streams and rivers, destroys ecosystems, and can lead to catastrophic events such as flooding and mud slides. Soil erosion can be prevented, but once it has started progressing it is extremely difficult to reverse. Fléttan is developing an algorithm that will measure the risk of soil erosion more accurately than any other existing model. We harvest earth observation data from the Sentinel-2 satellite, calibrate our data with localized historical data, and using machine learning and artificial intelligence we measure soil erosion risk. Our risk values are displayed as a map on a user-friendly graphical interface. When our developmental phase has concluded and we have successfully tested our concept within the Icelandic market, we hope to acquire access to more data from satellites and local data vendors throughout the world to create a global product that can be utilized by customers ranging from government institutions, research facilities to insurance companies and environmental NGO's.
