At its core, Geospatial data involves information about the physical location and characteristics of features and events on Earth. Geospatial data can be collected from various sources, including satellite imagery, GPS devices, mobile phones, and social media...
Nuclear energy stands out as a powerful yet complex source in the rapidly evolving world of energy production. It offers a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels, making it a critical player in the fight against climate change. However, the challenges associated with...
In public health, visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting the spatial distribution of diseases is critical for effective disease prevention, control, and resource allocation. Data mapping provides valuable insights into the spatial patterns of diseases, such as...
In the dynamic landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), one of the most intriguing and impactful frontiers is the integration of geostatistical learning. Geostatistics, the science of analyzing and modeling spatial variability, has found a natural ally in AI,...
Geostatistics—a branch of statistics tailored for spatial data analysis—has seen significant advancements in recent years. Kriging and Co-Kriging are popular geostatistical techniques for spatial interpolation and prediction. These methods are essential in various...
Maps play a crucial role in representing spatial information, allowing us to visualize and analyze data in a geospatial context. However, one critical aspect that significantly influences the interpretation and accuracy of data analysis on maps is its level of detail...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic of discussion with the recent release and growing popularity of ChatGPT. One of the areas where AI is making a significant impact is in public health. The integration of geographic information systems (GIS) and AI...
In geostatistics, a spatial support refers to the size and shape of the area or volume over which a variable of interest is measured or observed. Examples of spatial support include the volume of a soil core analyzed to measure pH, the pixel size in satellite imagery,...
Geostatistics and geospatial analysis are related concepts, but they refer to different aspects of spatial data analysis. Let’s take a look at the difference between geostatistics and geospatial analysis and how these two concepts work together. What is...
Combining two sciences – geography and statistics – geostatistics is a field of statistics that deals with analyzing and modeling data distributed in space or time. This discipline originated from the prestigious Paris School of Mines in the 1960s’ where engineers and...
Contrary to popular belief, geospatial data is all around us. So much so that it’s difficult to think of data that is not geospatial. Geospatial data arises whenever events occur at specific geographic locations, such as disease cases in a specific area. Think of...
The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) is a non-profit, worldwide professional society comprised of individuals and institutions engaged in: 1) the study, analysis, and solution of environmental problems, 2) the management and regulation of...
