GEO AI and Its Impact on Public Health
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...
The Change of Spatial Support
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,...
What is the Difference Between Geostatistics and Geospatial Analysis?
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...
How Geospatial Analysis Has Evolved Over Time
Geospatial analysis is the process of collecting, storing, analyzing, and visualizing geographic data. It has been around for centuries, but how it’s done has changed dramatically over time. The beginning of GIS The earliest known use of geospatial analysis was by the...
