phenology
Simply put, this is the study of the influence of climate on recurring natural phenomena. Certainly an important word today when discussing global climate change. From Greek phaino, to show and logo, to study.

I shall have to remember this exact word for what it actually is. Yes, a very important and topical concept these days.
