"Spatial analysis includes a variety of techniques using different analytic approaches, especially spatial statistics."
The study of the patterns, relationships, and structures of geographic data.
Cartography: The art and science of making maps.
GIS: Geographic Information Systems. A computer program that stores, visualizes, and analyzes spatial data.
Data structures: The way data is organized and stored in a GIS, including vector and raster data types.
Spatial data acquisition: The process of collecting data about the physical world, including satellite imagery, GPS, and surveying.
Data projections: The way that a three-dimensional world is transformed into a two-dimensional map, using mathematical formulas.
Spatial analysis techniques: A set of tools and methods used to analyze spatial data, including spatial statistics, interpolation, and geostatistics.
Remote sensing: The process of detecting and monitoring physical characteristics of the Earth from a distance, using satellite and aerial imagery and other data sources.
Spatial databases: A tool for managing spatial data, including querying, editing, and analyzing data in a GIS.
Spatial modeling: Using mathematical models to simulate and predict real-world phenomena, such as climate change and urban growth.
Spatial decision-making: Using spatial analysis tools and techniques to support decision-making in fields such as urban planning, public health, and natural resource management.
Geographic data visualization: The art of representing spatial data in a visually appealing and informative way, using maps, charts, and other graphics.
Big data and spatial analysis: Challenges and opportunities in managing large amounts of spatial data, including data storage, processing, and analysis.
"It may be applied in fields as diverse as astronomy, with its studies of the placement of galaxies in the cosmos, or to chip fabrication engineering, with its use of 'place and route' algorithms to build complex wiring structures."
"In a more restricted sense, spatial analysis is geospatial analysis, the technique applied to structures at the human scale, most notably in the analysis of geographic data."
"It may also be applied to genomics, as in transcriptomics data."
"Complex issues arise in spatial analysis, many of which are neither clearly defined nor completely resolved, but form the basis for current research."
"The most fundamental of these is the problem of defining the spatial location of the entities being studied."
"Classification of the techniques of spatial analysis is difficult because of the large number of different fields of research involved, the different fundamental approaches which can be chosen, and the many forms the data can take."
"Spatial analysis is any of the formal techniques which studies entities using their topological, geometric, or geographic properties."
