A Taxonomic Analysis of Perspectives in Generating Space-Time Research Questions in Environmental Sciences

International Journal of Applied Geospatial Research, 2016
Research questions in environment science can be decomposed into three basic dimensions: space, time and statistics. The combinations of these three dimensions reflect the diverse perspectives of observations across multiple scales. One can classify these scales into four types: individual, local, meso, and global.
