Abstract:
The erosional processes depend on various variables such as lithology, topography,
drainage system, rock structure and climatic conditions. The quantitative evaluation on some of the above geological and geomorphological parameters is of primary
importance for the purpose of developing erosion risk maps. These maps can become useful tools for developing appropriate strategies on environmental protection, hazard assessment and regional planning. The island of Sifnos, in Cyclades, was chosen as a case study, where in the final map of the sub-basins of this island, erosion risk distribution is presented.
