Using mathematical models to simulate and predict real-world phenomena, such as climate change and urban growth.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS): A system used to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data.
Geospatial data types and formats: Different types of data structures and formats used to store and analyze spatial data.
Coordinate Systems: A system that defines the position of a point in space using coordinates such as latitude and longitude, UTM, and State Plane.
Map Projections: A system that transforms the 3D Earth onto a 2D map or flat surface, including types like Mercator, Robinson, and Azimuthal equidistant.
Spatial data visualization: Techniques used to display spatial data in maps and charts, including choropleth and heat maps.
Spatial data analysis: Techniques and tools to mine, analyze, and derive insights from a wide range of spatial data.
Spatial interpolation: Methods to estimate the value of an unknown variable at a location using values known from surrounding locations.
Spatial clustering: Identifying groups or clusters of spatial locations and identifying patterns in data.
Spatial regression analysis: Identifying relationships between spatial variables and seeking to understand the causal mechanisms behind these relationships.
Spatial overlay analysis: Combining spatial datasets to analyze spatial relationships, including union, intersection, and difference operations.
Geostatistics: Using statistical methods for handling spatially distributed data such as kriging, semivariogram, and trend analysis.
Network analysis: Analyzing the network structure of spatial systems, including routing, network connectivity, shortest path analysis, and network flow analysis.
Spatial modeling with Python: Scripting and coding techniques used to explore, analyze and visualize spatial data using Python programming language.
Machine learning for spatial data: Advanced techniques for analyzing and modeling spatial networks, including deep learning algorithms, clustering algorithms, and decision trees.
Spatial analytics in Business: Utilizing spatial data to make educated and informed business decisions, including location-based marketing and supply chain optimization.
Point pattern analysis: Studies the distribution and clustering of individual points in space.
Spatial autocorrelation: Measures the degree of similarity in values between neighboring locations.
Spatial interpolation: Estimating values for unsampled locations based on a set of sampled points.
Spatial regression: Determines the relationship between spatially-referenced dependent and independent variables.
Geostatistics: Uses statistical methods to analyze and predict the spatial distribution of data.
Spatial clustering: Identifies and groups similar patterns or features in a given spatial dataset.
Spatial network analysis: Studying the properties of network structures in geographic space (such as transportation or social networks).
Spatial optimization: Finding the optimal location or arrangement of regions, facilities, or resources in a given area.
Cartography: Visual representation and analysis of spatial data using maps.
Agent-based modeling: Simulating the behavior of individual agents (people, animals, vehicles) and the resulting spatial patterns that emerge.
Landscape ecology: Studies the relationships between spatial patterns, environmental processes, and ecosystem functioning.
Remote sensing: Collecting and analyzing spatial data from aerial or satellite imagery.
Topological analysis: Examines the relationships between the spatial arrangement of features or regions.
Multi-criteria decision analysis: Combines different sources of spatial data to achieve multiple objectives, prioritizing trade-offs among them.
"Spatial analysis includes a variety of techniques using different analytic approaches, especially spatial statistics."
"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."
