The paper presents the results of estimations of potential soil erosion in the basins of the small rivers of the Markha River watershed (the Lena River basin), using geoinformation technologies. The creation of specialized geoinformation database and GIS for the basins of small rivers of the Arctic watershed of the Asian part of Russia is considered in detail, in the scale 1: 1,000,000, adopted for the research, corresponding to the regional level of spatial detail. The source materials for filling the geodatabase were the following: digital model of relief (the unit of regular raster grid was 250*250 m), maps of climatic parameters, maps of land cover properties, maps of landscape structure, and types of land use. The prototype of created geodatabase was used for estimation of potential soil losses on the test site, in the conditions of a flat relief - in the Markha River basin. Calculations were carried out, using the mathematical formula, recommended by the Scientific-Research Laboratory of Soil Erosion and Channel Processes of the Moscow State University n.a. M.V.
