Contributors in Environmental conservation

Environmental conservation

electrical sounding

Environment; Environmental conservation

An earth-resistivity survey made at the same location by putting the electrodes progressively farther apart. It shows the change of apparent resistivity with depth.

electromagnetic conductivity

Environment; Environmental conservation

A method of measuring the induced electrical fieid in the earth to determine the ability of the earth to conduct electricity. Electromagnetic conductivity is the inverse of electrical resistivity. ...

environment

Environment; Environmental conservation

The sum of all external conditions affecting the life, development, and survival of an organism.

epidemiology

Environment; Environmental conservation

The study of diseases as they affect populations, including the distribution of disease or other health-related states and events in human populations, the factors (e.g., age, sex, occupation, and ...

equilibrium constant

Environment; Environmental conservation

The number defining the conditions of equilibrium for a particular reversible chemical reaction.

equilibrium line

Environment; Environmental conservation

The level on a glacier where accumulation equals ablation and the net balance equals zero.

equipotential line

Environment; Environmental conservation

A line in a two-dimensional ground-water flow field such that the total hydraulic head is the same for all points along the line.
