| jäätikkö | glacier (Slow moving masses of ice which have accumulated either on mountains or in polar regions. They are found where warm, moist air or warm water meets cold air or water. They move, influenced by the force of gravity and the pressure of the ice, above the underlying slush layers and slide downhill, eventually melting at lower levels to form rivers or reaching sea-level, where they form ice shelves or fall into the water as icebergs) | |
| jäätikkötiede | glaciology (1. The study of all aspects of snow and ice; the science that treats quantitatively the whole range of processes associated with all forms of solid existing water. 2. The study of existing glaciers and ice sheets, and of their physical properties) | |
| jäätymisydin | ice nucleus | |
| jäätymisydin | ice-forming nucleus | |
| jäätymisydin | ice-producing nucleus | |
| jäävuori | iceberg (A large mass of detached land ice floating in the sea or stranded in shallow water) | |
| jabiru | Jabiru stork | |
| jaettu näkemys | shared vision | |
| jaettu vastuu | shared responsibility | |
| jaetut luonnonvarat | shared natural resources | |
| jaguarundi | jaguarundi | |
| jähmät | suspended solids | |
| jäkälät | lichen | |
| jäkälät | lichens | |
| jäkälät | lichen (Composite organisms formed by the symbiosis between species of fungi and an algae. They are either crusty patches or bushy growths on tree trunks, stone walls, roofs or garden paths. Because they have no actual roots they get their sustenance from the atmosphere and rainwater. Lichens play an important role in the detection and monitoring of pollution, especially sulphur dioxide, as they are highly sensitive to pollution and different species disappear if pollution reaches specific levels) | |
| jäkälien kartoitus | mapping of lichens | |
| jäkälien kartoitus | mapping of lichens (Maps of lichens distribution indicating air quality. Fruticose lichens (with branched structures well above the surface) are more susceptible to SO2 damage than foliose lichens (whose leaflike thallus lies nearly flat on surface) and both in turn are more susceptible than crustose lichens (which embed their tissue in the cracks of bark, soil, or rocks). The use of morphological lichen types as indicators of air pollution concentrations is well developed) | |
| jakaminen | distribution (In an environmental context, the term refers to the dispersion of air pollutants and depends on the type of pollution source (point source, line source, diffuse source), the wind velocity and the wind direction. Distribution can be active or passive) | |
| jakauma | international distribution (The worldwide allocating of resources or dispersing of goods) | |
| jakauma | international distribution |
