Transient research involves studying phenomena that occur over a short period of time, often involving rapid changes or fluctuations. This area of research can include studying events such as earthquakes, lightning strikes, or short-term changes in climate patterns. Transient research often involves collecting data in real-time or near real-time in order to capture these fleeting events and understand their causes and impacts. This research is often multidisciplinary, drawing on fields such as geology, meteorology, and physics to better understand these transient phenomena.
