envirobites

     · "...where graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and science professionals come together

          to write easy-to-read, compelling summaries of recent, cutting-edge research papers in

          environmental science to make them accessible to non-experts. We want to share our passion

          for research with all non-scientists who are interested to learn more about the environment:

          This ranges in scale from identifying science problems and solutions in cities to explaining the

          complex environmental challenges facing our planet as a whole.”


Environmental & sustainability science

“Environmental science” encompasses the topic of

   environmental indicators. Note that each of these

   words—both environmental and indicators—have

   multiple synonyms, near-synonyms, & semantic

   overlaps with other terms. These include:

     · Environmental: ecological, sustainability,  

                               sustainable development  

     · Indicators: analysis, footprint, impact  

                         reporting, indices & monitoring

   Consequently, this page covers a wide range of

   related topics under may labels, ranging from

   “ecological assessment” to “sustainable

    development monitoring.”
