Definition:
Study of the distribution and association of Earth phenomena, including cultural and social concerns, that include singular or multiple processes operating in concert in some identified region. Geographic information systems and remote sensing are used to analyze multivariate geospatial data. [Adapted from http://www.weber.edu/Geosciences/Geospatial.html]
