Abstract
Workshop participants were asked to address sets of questions in small group discussions, which were subsequently brought to the entire group for discussion. The first set of questions was directed at identifying a set of degradation activities that could be a primary focus for developing or refining methods and techniques for monitoring:
What drivers and degradation sources can be detected? What methods are most effective at detection? What are the challenges and opportunities in detecting degradation?
