> Any measurement we take in Earth and environmental sciences, although this is often ignored, has a spatio-temporal reference. A spatio-temporal reference is determined by (at least) four parameters:
> 1. geographic location (longitude and latitude or projected X,Y coordinates);
> 2. height above the ground surface (elevation);
> 3. time of measurement (year, month, day, hour, minute etc.);
> 4. spatio-temporal support (size of the blocks of material associated with measurements; time interval of measurement);
