8753688323Big Dataa broad term for datasets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate.1
8753688324One-pagerA business/corporate term for a one-page document that summarizes a large issue, topic or plan. The purpose is to distill and highlight the most important pieces of information in a digestible manner so that the reader can be quickly acquainted with the relevant details of the "big picture."2
8753688325Caesar Ciphera technique for encryption that shifts the alphabet by some number of characters3
8753688326Cipherthe generic term for a technique (or algorithm) that performs encryption4
8753688327Cracking EncryptionWhen you attempt to decode a secret message without knowing all the specifics of the cipher, you are trying to "crack" the encryption.5
8753688328Decryptiona process that reverses encryption, taking a secret message and reproducing the original plain text6
8753688329Encryptiona process of encoding messages to keep them secret, so only "authorized" parties can read it.7
8753688330Random Substitution Cipheran encryption technique that maps each letter of the alphabet to a randomly chosen other letters of the alphabet.8
8753688331Vigenère Ciphera method of encrypting text by applying a series of Caesar ciphers based on the letters of a keyword.9
8753688332Computationally Harda "hard" problem for a computer is one in which it cannot arrive at a solution in a reasonable amount of time.10
8753688333Symmetric Encryptiona type of encryption where the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt the message.11
8753688334Asymmetric Encryptionused in public key encryption, it is scheme in which the key to encrypt data is different from the key to decrypt.12
8753688335Moduloa mathematical operation that returns the remainder after integer division.13
8753688336Private KeyIn an asymmetric encryption scheme the decryption key is kept private and never shared, so only the intended recipient has the ability to decrypt a message that has been encrypted with a public key.14
8753688337Public Key EncryptionUsed prevalently on the web, it allows for secure messages to be sent between parties without having to agree on, or share, a secret key. It uses an asymmetric encryption scheme in which the encryption key is made public, but the decryption key is kept private.15
8753688338Phishing ScamTypically a thief trying to trick you into sending them sensitive information. Typically these include emails about system updates asking you send your username and password, social security number or other things.16
8753688339DDoS (Distributed denial of service) AttackTypically a virus installed on many computers (thousands) activate at the same time and flood a target with traffic to the point the server becomes overwhelmed - doing this can render web services like DNS, or routers, or certain websites useless and unresponsive.17
8753688340Virusa program that runs on a computer to do something the owner of the computer does not intend; can be used as a Bot Net to trigger a DDoS-style attack, or they can spy on your computer activity, such as capturing all the keystrokes you make at the computer, or websites you visit, etc.18
8753688341Antivirus softwareusually keeps big lists of known viruses and scans your computer looking for the virus programs in order to get rid of them.19
8753688342Firewallsoftware that runs on servers (often routers) that only allows traffic through according to some set of security rules.20
8753688343SSL (secure sockets layer) and TLS (transport layer security)use public key cryptography to establish a secure connection.21

8429804635Rain shadow (orographic) effectthe loss of moisture from the landscape and the resulting semiarid or arid conditions on the leeward side of high mountains -Windward= lush, green, clouds, precipitation, ocean...leedward= deserts, sinking air, dry14
8429804636Coriolis Effectan effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation.15
8429804637El Niño and La Niña (Southern Oscillation (ENSO))large-scale weather phenomenon occurs every few years when prevailing winds in the tropical Pacific Ocean weaken and change direction o Above-average warming of Pacific waters affects populations of marine species by changing the distribution of plant nutrients, hurting fishing industry o Low nutrients, low dissolved oxygen (in South America, but in Australia during La Niña) o Severe flooding, storms, drought, mudslides, $ damage, human health hazards (dehydration, diarrhea, zoonotic diseases [lyme, Hanta])16
8429804653oligotrophic lakeslakes that have a small supply of plant nutrients e.g. glaciers, mountains, lakes17
8429804662limiting factors that determine where a species will live:• temperature • dissolved oxygen content • availability of food • availability of light and nutrients for photosynthesis18
8429804665turbiditywhen the water is clouded by excessive algal growth or natural/human disturbances like waves, wind, currents, boats, tides, storms, etc. • can prevent sunlight from penetrating the water for photosynthetic plants • can clog fish kills • can prevent fish/organisms from properly hunting prey19
8429804692aquifers• underground caverns and porous layers of sand, gravel, or bedrock through which groundwater flows • most aquifers recharge extremely slowly because urban development prevents water from easily penetrating the ground20
8429804693confined aquifersis bounded above and below by less permeable beds of rock, and its water is confined under pressure21
8429804694unconfined aquifersis an aquifer with a permeable water table22
8429804700saltwater intrusionmovement of saltwater into an aquifer, which may cause contamination23
8429804712sinkholeslarge craters that form when the roof of an underground cavern collapses after being drained of the groundwater that supports it24
8429804722flood irrigationwater is distributed over the soil surface by gravity; the most common form of irrigation and most inefficient; loses 40% of water25
8429804725drip or trickle irrigation (micro irrigation)method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters; MOST efficient method because least evaporation; 90-95% of water reaches the crops26
8429804751keystone specieshave a large effect on the types and abundance of other species in an ecosystem (e.g. shark, bumblebee, sea otters in kelp forests)27
8429804753biomassthe amount of living material, or the amount of organic material contained in living organisms, both as live and dead material, as in the leaves (live) and stem wood (dead) of trees28
8429804757early successional species/pioneer speciesspecies that occur only or primarily during early stages of succession. With vegetation, these are typically rapidly growing and short-lived with high reproductive rates.29
8429804759late successional speciesspecies that occur only or primarily in, or are dominant in late stages in succession. With plants, these are typically slower growing and long-lived species.30
8429804763competitive exclusion principleno two species can occupy exactly the same ecological niche for very long (e.g. cheetahs and lions)31
8429804767resource partitioningoccurs when species competing for similar scarce resources evolve specialized traits that allow them to use shared resources at different times, in different ways, or in different places32
8429804770biotic potential• is the maximum reproductive capacity of a population if resources are unlimited • Large animals (e.g. elephants), low potential • small animals (e.g. bacteria), high potential33
8429804771Intrinsic rate of increase (r)• rate at which a population would grow if it had unlimited resources • High rate= reproduces early, short generation times, reproduces many times, many offspring34
8429804773carrying capacity (K)maximum population of a given species that a particular habitat can sustain indefinitely without being degraded35
8429804781density-dependent factors:infectious disease, parasitism, predation, competition36
8429804782density-independent factors:habitat destruction, pollution, temperature change37
8429804784commensalism+, / relationship in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm38
8429804789habitat fragmentationis when large areas of habitat are divided typically by roads, crop fields or projects; blocks animals migration routes; animals are more vulnerable to die because of the small, enclosed space39
8429804798CITES(Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) an international treaty banning the hunting and trade of endangered species; Created a list of animals in which countries who sign are forced to protect them40
8429804799Endangered Species Act 1973designed to identify and protect endangered species in the United States; most far-reaching environmental act ever41
