A Gamma radiation is a short-wavelength electromagnetic radiation of nuclear origin, with energies between 10 keV to 9 MeV.

The term "Gas" may refer to any one of the following:

  • one of the four main physical states of matter (along with solid, liquid and plasma)

The Geographical Information System (GIS) is a collection of computer hardware, software, and physical data designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, and display habitat referenced data.

A Global Climate Change could result in sea level rises, changes to patterns of precipitation, increased variability in the weather, and a variety of other consequences.

A Global radiation is Total solar radiant Energy impinging on a surface, equal to the sum of direct and diffuse radiation.

The global warming describes the increase in the average temperature of the earth's surface.

A Golden Carrot is an incentive program that is designed to transform the market to produce much greater Energy efficiency. The term is a trademark of the Consortium for Energy Efficiency .
