How is data collected in environmental research?

Data in environmental research is collected through various methods, including field surveys, remote sensing, and laboratory analysis.

What are field surveys and how do they work?

Field surveys involve researchers going into the environment to collect data directly, such as measuring air or water quality.

Can you explain remote sensing?

Remote sensing uses satellite or aerial imagery to gather data about the Earth's surface without physical contact.

What types of data are typically collected?

Typically, data collected includes temperature, humidity, pollution levels, biodiversity, and land use changes.

How do researchers ensure data accuracy?

Researchers ensure accuracy by using standardized methods, calibrating instruments, and conducting repeated measurements.
