The results consist of a comprehensive databank for soil erosion in Iceland and the geomorphology of Icelandic desert surfaces. The project received the Nordic Nature and Environment prize in 1998. The data has been used for multiple purposes since then and continues to be the most comprehensive land cover for Icelandic desert surfaces.
