[Objective] The research status， progress， and evolutionary trends of research frontiers and hotspots in the field of global soil and water loss monitoring technology from 1993 to 2023 were analyzed， and its development trends were outlined， in order to provide references for promoting innovation and advancement in soil and water loss monitoring technology. [Methods] A total of 943 publications in the field of soil and water loss monitoring technology from 1993 to 2023 were selected from the Web of Science Core Collection and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI） databases. CiteSpace bibliometric software was employed to conduct visual analysis of publication trends， country and institutional distribution， author collaboration networks， keyword clustering， and keyword bursts. [Results] ① The global publication volume exhibits continuous growth， and research had entered a stage of rapid development after 2010. China was the center of global publication volume， and both China and the United States exerted the greatest academic influence worldwide in this field. ② Institutions including the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Normal University had relatively broad research scopes and extensive collaboration networks. Scholars such as Liu Baoyuan and Poesen Jean were highly reputed authors with significant publication volume in this field. ③ Research hotspots in both databases were concentrated in the Loess Plateau and northeast China， two regions severely affected by soil and water loss. Gully erosion and slope erosion were the primary types of soil loss receiving significant attention. [Conclusion] Soil and water loss monitoring technology has transitioned from traditional to modern measurement. The integration of multiple technologies has become a key trend in this field， thereby enhancing monitoring effectiveness.
