Description
Many 21st century challenges (such as COVID-19 and other disasters) exist within a 4-dimensional (3D space and 1D time) world. Societal issues such as adequate health care, effective higher education, and physical adaptation to climate change and disasters require: 1) new methodologies to detect and characterize spatiotemporal patterns; 2) new computing techniques to support efficient computational demands; 3) new applications to address multi-disciplinary complexity and support decision making; and 4) reflexive approaches fostering intra-disciplinarity. By integrating our modes of geographic conceptualization, ways of understanding, and the methodologies we employ to comprehend complex questions and data across space and time, we can reveal enlivened social realities and possibilities. Spatiotemporal studies fundamentally broaden the interpretative relevancy of geospatial solutions for Pandemic, GIScience, Artificial Intelligence, Cyberinfrastructure, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Social Media, Digital Earth and future generations of GIS and geographic solutions. Evolving descriptions and explanations of the spatiotemporal linkages in a scientific manner among different domains of geography, planetary, operations, humanities, economics, and other sciences may enable us to address problems and conditions that were previously unsolvable. This panel discusses the latest achievements of spatiotemporal sciences in advancing various aspects herein.
