First sentence: Commonly used atemporal geographical information systems (GIS) neglect essential dynamics of the natural processes in time and do not take into account important cross-correlations and causal dependencies in the composite space/time domain, thereby significantly limiting the practitioner's understanding of the situation of interest and reducing the predictability capabilities of the system.
