Gentrification Gentrification, or more specifically urban gentrification, is a process in which low-cost, physically deteriorated neighborhoods experience physical renovation and an increase in property values, along with an influx of wealthier residents who typically replace the prior residents. The process often returns decaying parts of a city to the middle-class, economically viable neighborhoods they were originally built as.

Genuine Progress Indicator The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is a concept in green economics and welfare economics that has been suggested as a replacement metric for gross domestic product (GDP) as a metric of economic growth. Unlike GDP it is claimed by its advocates to more reliably distinguish uneconomic growth - almost all advocates of a GDP would accept that some economic growth is very harmful.

Genus (music) In ancient Greek music theory, a genus is a family of divisions of the tetrachord (four notes spanning a perfect fourth) used to create musical scales. The three genera are distinguished by their characteristic largest intervals, between the upper two notes.
Genus-differentia definition A genus-differentia definition is one in which a word or concept that indicates a species -- a specific type of item, not necessarily a biological category -- is described first by a broader category, the genus, then distinguished from other items in that category by differentia. The differentiae of a species are the species' properties that other members of the genus do not have.

Geocentric coordinates Geocentric coordinates are an Earth-centered system of locating objects in the solar system in three-dimensions along the Cartesian X, Y and Z axes. They are differentiated from topocentric coordinates which use the observer's location as the reference point for bearings in altitude and azimuth.
Geocentric Coordinate Time Geocentric Coordinate Time (TCG) is a coordinate time standard intended to be used as the independent variable of time for all calculations pertaining to precession, nutation, the Moon, and artificial satellites of the Earth. It is equivalent to the proper time experienced by a clock at rest in a coordinate frame co-moving with the center of the Earth: that is, a clock that performs exactly the same movements as the Earth but is outside the Earth's gravity well.

Geodemographic Segmentation Geodemographic segmentation is a multivariate statistical classification technique for discovering whether the individuals of a population fall into different groups by making quantitative comparisons of multiple characteristics with the assumption that the differences within any group should be less than the differences between groups.
Geodemography Geodemography includes the application or study of geodemographic classifications for business, social research and public policy but has a longer history in academic research seeking to understand the processes by which settlements (notably, cities) evolve and neighborhoods are formed. It links the sciences of demography, the study of human population dynamics, geography, the study of the locational and spatial variation of both physical and human phenomena on Earth, and also sociology].
Geodesic curvature In differential geometry, the geodesic curvature vector is a property of curves in a metric space which reflects the deviance of the curve from following the shortest arc length distance along each infinitesimal segment of its length.
Geodesic dome A geodesic dome is an almost spherical structure based on a network of struts arranged on great circles (geodesics) lying approximately on the surface of a sphere. The geodesics intersect to form triangular elements that have local triangular rigidity and yet also distribute the stress across the entire structure.
Geodesic grid A geodesic grid as a technique primarily used in climate modelling to model the surface of a sphere (Earth). It's formed iteratively from an icosahedron by bisecting the edges of the current polyhedron and projecting the new verticies onto the unit sphere.
Geodesics as Hamiltonian flows In mathematics, the geodesic equations are second-order non-linear differential equations, and are commonly presented in the form of Euler-Lagrange equations of motion. However, they can also be presented as a set of coupled first-order equations, in the form of Hamilton's equations.
Geodestinies Coined by author and petroleum geologist Walter Youngquist, the concept of geodestinies refers to the ways in which the happenstance distribution of Earth's natural resources largely determines our collective futures. From the Preface of Youngquist's book GeoDestinies:
Geodesy Geodesy (IPA ), also called geodetics, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the earth, its gravitational field and geodynamic phenomena (polar motion, earth tides, and crustal motion) in three-dimensional, time-varying space.
Geodetic effect The geodetic effect represents the effect of the curvature of space-time, predicted by general relativity on a spinning, moving body. A related effect was first predicted by Willem de Sitter in 1916 , who provided relativistic corrections to the Earth-Moon system's motion.
Geodetic system Geodetic systems or geodetic data are used in geodesy, navigation, surveying by cartographers and satellite navigation systems to translate positions indicated on their products to their real position on earth.
Geodeung of Geumgwan Gaya Geodeung of Gaya, also called Geodeung Wang, was the king of Gaya, a confederacy of chiefdoms that existed in the Nakdong River valley of Korea during the Three Kingdoms era, from 199 to 259.
