Disturbance monitoring is a research area that focuses on observing and measuring changes or disruptions in natural systems, such as ecosystems, habitats, or climate patterns. These disturbances can include natural events like storms, wildfires, or droughts, as well as human activities like deforestation, pollution, or land development. By monitoring disturbances, researchers can better understand the impacts of these events on ecosystems and biodiversity, and can develop strategies for mitigating or adapting to them. This research area often involves the use of remote sensing technologies, field surveys, and modeling techniques to track and analyze disturbances over time.
