In computer science, resource starvation is a problem encountered in concurrent computing where a process is perpetually denied necessary resources to process its work.
In glaciology, starvation occurs when a glacier retreats, not because of temperature increases, but due to precipitation so low that the ice flow downward into the zone of ablation exceeds the replenishment from snowfall.
