  10. First law of Geography • Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things • TOBLER, W. R. (1970). "A computer movie simulating urban growth in the Detroit region". Economic Geography, 46(2): 234-240.

  11. Process • Obtain points with measurements • Interpolate between the points using: • Inverse Distance Weighting • Kriging • Splines • Convert the raster to vector using contours

  12. Vector (Points) to Rater • Interpolation • IDW • Kriging • Splines • Density

  13. Inverse Distance Weighting • Points closer to the pixel have more “weight”

  14. IDW – Variable Radius

  15. IDW – Fixed Radius

  16. Inverse Distance Weighting

  17. Spline • Spline type: Tension • Increase “Weight” or decrease the “Number of points”

  18. Splines

  19. Kriging • See the Geostatistical Analyst • NR/ST523 - Quantitative Spatial Analysis • NR512 - Introduction to Spatial Statistical Modeling of Natural Resources

  20. Kriging

  21. Geostatistical Analyst • Provides much more control over interpolation
