Abstract

This work tries to present one of several ways of using the Google Earth Pro (GE) tool for the monitoring of gullies. In this sense, an erosive incision was chosen in the Manaus region to exemplify this use, and the data collection was divided into two stages: the morphometric characterization of the gully in the field and the analysis of the field data combined with the GE images in the laboratory. With the obtained images, it was possible to do a multitemporal analysis of the gully from 2005 to 2016 and to estimate the growth rate of the gully at 10.25 m²/month and to describe other characteristics such as type and size of this incision.
