The massive tree cover loss shows there is much to be improved in terms of monitoring and understanding the causes and types of forest fires".
Since computer models of climate change predict that the consequences of global warming will occur earlier and be most pronounced in the polar regions, particularly the Arctic, monitoring and understanding the behaviour of sea ice are important.
The company intends to automate the act of monitoring and understanding cyber threats as they happen.
The increasingly private and local nature of renewable energy development increases the complexity of monitoring and understanding these processes.
Mapping landscapes in a rapidly urbanizing region can contribute significantly to quantifying, monitoring and understanding the complex process of urbanization.
Monitoring and understanding the distribution of tree species in the world is a major research agenda in plant ecology, especially under ongoing rapid global change (Enquist et al. 2016; Franklin et al. 2016).
Finally, we highlight recent results from our thermal camera network, mostly during highly dynamic activity on Kīlauea in 2011, to demonstrate the potential of this system for both monitoring and understanding volcanic processes.
Monitoring and understanding the dynamics of these lakes and their relationships to the ecohydrological evolution of the region is important to assess past, present and future changes of water resources in the Sahel.
In combination with in situ observations of the ocean density and space observations of Earth's gravity variations, satellite altimetry has become an essential component of a global observing system for monitoring and understanding sea level change.
TIROS clearly demonstrated the advantage and importance of using satellite instruments in identifying, monitoring, and understanding weather processes and ultimately led to the suite of international geostationary and polar-orbiting weather satellites we heavily rely on today.
