The study of soil degradation phenomena requires the characterization of surface properties. This characterization is based on the integration of the descriptive variables of the local environment: physical, biological and anthropic. In Morocco, the spectacular expansion of erosive processes shows increasingly alarming aspects. Faced with this situation, the country has an urgent need for evaluating the effects of erosion on soil productivity to measure its amplitude and to foster the implementation of better conservation strategies. The overall objective of our research project is to develop a geomatics approach for the mapping and determination of the surface states in a small Mediterranean watershed that can be used for modeling the soil degradation parameters. In the present research, the class definitions of the different levels of degradation are based on the GLASOD ( Global Assessment of Soil Deterioration ) method. To reach the objectives set for our study, we adopted two approaches. The first is a spectral approach and is based on spectral indices, the SAM (Spectral Angle Mapping ) method, and on spectral unmixing.
