Geospatial Analysis

Geospatial analysis is a method by which information tied to geographical coordinates can be used to study phenomenon at the landscape level. The data, often gathered through remote sensing techniques, allows people to study form and process on a large spatial scale. The information produce by these analyses is essential for making informed decisions about agriculture, conservation, and other issues concerning land use.
