• Description:
  In the New England region, roadways located within “erosion-prone zones” have been the main sources of erosion-induced road damage, particularly when major storms occur. With recent and continuing climate change influencing weather patterns (specifically causing an increase in high-intensity rainfall events, and rainfall events following snow events), soil erosion and landslides are a major concern for DOTs, roadway planners, and designers, impacting the cost to maintain transportation networks and other critical infrastructure. With limited operational resources and funding available for maintenance and repairs, effective screening tools used for modeling, monitoring, and forecasting erosion can aid in assessing erosion and landslide susceptibility, which is critical for regional operations and planning.
