It can be used to describe a challenging or harsh setting, often in contexts related to nature, work, or living conditions.
Example: "The astronauts trained rigorously to prepare for the challenges they would face in a severe environment like Mars."
Alternatives: "a harsh environment" or "a challenging environment."
"One has to build in a severe environment, something we've never done before," said Dr. Benaroya of Rutgers.
Even after repairing a concrete structure, internal corrosion may continue in service state especially under a severe environment and this would deteriorate the newly applied repair material.
ITER diagnostic port plug must resist a severe environment like high temperature due to neutron interaction with the structures and high electromechanical loading during disruptions events.
Because the position of ELM and VS coils is close and face to the plasma, the IVCs must undergo a severe environment, such as the high dose of radiation and high operation temperature, thus the conventional electrical insulation materials cannot be used.
Afforestation of the Flow Country might not have been beneficial: the provisioning services were of limited value in a severe environment; carbon loss from the peaty soil might have outweighed that gained in tree biomass.
This dauer formation feature would be an evolutionary adaptation to survive in such a severe environment.
