Using clustering in geosciences: Examples and case studies
Original language description
Clustering methods are used in many scientific disciplines for various purposes. Geosciences also adopted principles of clustering and added a spatial component into clustering procedures. The aim of the clustering is to explore the spatial and/or attribute space of the data and then to find groups of similar objects. The similarity of objects, then, should be high within groups (clusters) while clusters themselves should be as different as possible. In this paper, two case studies using clustering methods on geospatial data are presented. In the first one, spatial clustering is applied on mortality rates in the Czech Republic. In the second case study, attribute clustering (based on fractal dimension) is performed in order to find clusters of river drainage systems. The paper offers examples of possible use of clustering methods in geosciences.
