Abstract
Different monitoring approaches and techniques have been adopted to estimate and prevent
soil erosion and its corresponding phenomena at cultural heritage sites. Remote sensing
plays a crucial role in detecting and monitoring soil erosion events by providing a wealth
of geospatial data and information that helps to better understand and respond to the
mechanisms of soil erosion and mitigate or reduce its impacts. The main aims of this
review are to (1) provide an overview of remote sensing methods, applications, and sensor
types, (2) discuss the role of remote sensing in the estimation of soil erosion at cultural
heritage sites, and (3) present a bibliometric analysis of soil erosion studies at cultural
heritage sites covering the period from 1994 to 2025. The results of this study provide
insights into the yearly scientific production, methods employed, topics, and trends in this
field. This research offers valuable information for future research and the development
and promotion of policies and strategies for the effective and sustainable management of
cultural heritage sites.
