Glossary

The Resilience Alliance glossary provides clear and accessible definitions, based on current usage of the terms in the scientific literature by RA researchers. The glossary aims to improve understanding of relevant concepts by delivering a definition of each term, a referenced source for the definition, and in some cases, an additional layer of information.
