Haereticus Environmental Laboratory

Research

Haereticus Environmental Laboratory conducts two forms of research: fundamental, applied. Basic or fundamental research is the effort of gaining an understanding of the principle components, relationship between and among components, and processes of a natural phenomenon. Once a sound understanding of the phenomenon is grasped, research can be conducted to examine the relationship between a specific natural phenomenon and human activity or desire. Applied research often includes the technological development, either to better understand the phenomenon being studied or to better manipulate the phenomenon.
