spatial-temporal analysis

Spatial-temporal analysis examines how things change over both space and time. It involves studying patterns and relationships in geographical locations and how they evolve across periods. For example, it can track the spread of a disease, monitor traffic flow, or analyze environmental changes, helping us understand where and when certain events occur. This approach combines geographic data (where) with timing information (when) to reveal trends, make predictions, and inform decisions across various fields like public health, urban planning, and disaster response.
