Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries)
genetisk variasjon genetic variation (Change in one or more phenotypic characteristics, due to gene mutation or rearrangement, environmental effects, etc.)
genmodifisering genetic modification (Inheritable changes produced by ionizing radiation, exposure to certain chemicals, ingestion of some medication and from other causes)
genmodifisert organisme genetically modified organism (An organism that has undergone external processes by which its basic set of genes has been altered)
genotoksisitet genotoxicity
genpool genetic pool (The total number of genes or the amount of genetic information possessed by all the reproductive members of a population of sexually reproducing organisms)
genteknologi genetic engineering (1. The complex of techniques for the production of new genes and the alteration of the structure of the chromosomes to produce effects beneficial to man, in agriculture and medicine. 2. The intentional production of new genes and alteration of genomes by the substitution or addition of new genetic material)
genteknologilovgivning genetic engineering legislation
geodesi geodesy (A subdivision of geophysics which includes determination of the size and shape of the earth, the earth's gravitational field, and the location of points fixed to the earth's crust in an earth-referred coordinate system)
geofysikk geophysics (The physics of the earth and its environment, that is, earth, air and space)
geofysisk miljø geophysical environment (The physical earth and its surroundings, consisting of the oceans and inland waters, lower and upper atmosphere, space, land masses and land forms)
geogen faktor geogenic factor (Geogenic factors are those which originate in the soil, as opposed to those of anthropic origin (anthropogenic))
geografisk befolkningsfordeling geographical distribution of population (The number of inhabitants in or spread across designated subdivisions of an area, region, city or country)
geografisk informasjonssystem geographic information system (An organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information that can be drawn from different sources, both statistical and mapped)
geografisk projeksjon geographical projection (A representation of the globe constructed on a plane with lines representative of and corresponding to the meridians and parallels of the curved surface of the earth)
geologi geology (The study or science of the earth, its history, and its life as recorded in the rocks; includes the study of geologic features of an area, such as the geometry of rock formations, weathering and erosion, and sedimentation)
geologisk katastrofe geological disaster (Disasters caused by movements and deformation of the earth's crust)
geologisk prosess geological process (Dynamic actions or events that occur at the Earth's surface due to application of natural forces resulting from gravity, temperature changes, freezing and thawing, chemical reactions, seismic shaking, and the agencies of wind and moving water, ice and snow. Where and when a force exceeds the strength of the earth material, the material is changed by deformation, translocation, or chemical reactions)
geometrisk korreksjon geometric correction (A remote sensing term referring to the adjustment of an image for geometric errors)
geomorfologi geomorphology (The study of the classification, description, nature, origin, and development of present landforms and their relationships to underlying structures, and of the history of geologic changes as recorded by these surface features)
geomorfologisk prosess geomorphic process (The physical and chemical interactions between the Earth's surface and the natural forces acting upon it to produce landforms. The processes are determined by such natural environmental variables as geology, climate, vegetation and baselevel, to say nothing of human interference. The nature of the process and the rate at which it operates will be influenced by a change in any of these variables)
