SPATIAL DATA:

EXPLORE THE VALUE OF

SPATIAL ANALYSIS

If it happens on the earth,

then the geography of
your data matters.

With geospatial data,

we refer to places on
the earths surface at
human scale.

MODEL REAL-WORLD SYSTEMS

AND THEIR INTERACTIONS

Take multiple datasets, and

analyze them together

to better understand

95 percent of the underwater

world remains unexplored.

Using spatial analysis, we can

explore, model, and visualize
our world.
