Spatial Analysis of the Reality
Introduction to the lesson
The understanding of spatial organisation at the Earth surface is
the major and certainly the unique common concern among geoscientific disciplines.
At different scales and for various spatial extents this preoccupation conducts
to several specific questionings:
Learning Objectives
- How surface properties of a phenomenon are distributed throughout this region?
- What is the spatial distribution pattern of properties resulting from interactions between phenomena?
- How can this phenomenon or this process be modelled in space?
- How and Why a spatial distribution pattern changes with time?
- What will be the properties of a phenomenon and its distribution pattern in the future?
