- Please provide some additional information i - BEC is a GEO Participating Organisation. i-BEC engages in the development and operational management of integrated information systems to manage environmental data to support development initiatives, entrepreneurship and competitiveness in multiple sectors of the regional economy and society. These applications are designed to serve the needs of territorially focused policy makers, businesses and the public at regional, national and international levels. The underlying architecture and operational management of these systems forms the basis for sustainable use of environmental data, fully compatible with international standards established by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) of the United Nations and guidelines of the European Union that adopt the approach ‘act local think global’ including all operational areas of GEO

- Model/Algorithm1
The G2 soil erosion model is aa alorithm for producing seasonal maps of sheet and interrill erosion caused by raindrop detachment and runoff and computes soil loss, i.e the predicted soil amount removed from an area during a specific time period as a function of n• Rainfall-runoff erosivity for a specific time period, which quantifies the impact of raindrop and runoff energy. n• Soil erodibility, which reflects the ease of soil detachment by raindrop splash or surface flow. n• Topography, which expresses the effect of slope length and slope gradient.n• Vegetation retention, which represents the effects of all interrelated cover and management variables,n• Slope-intercept, which is corrective of topography.n
