1、河口海岸GIS时空过程可视化表达AbstractWith the development of geographic information system (GIS) technology, the visualization of spatiotemporal processes has become an important method for understanding complex environmental systems. This paper focuses on the application of GIS technology in the visualization o
2、f spatiotemporal processes in estuarine and coastal environments. Firstly, the characteristics of estuarine and coastal environments are described, and the factors affecting the spatiotemporal processes of these environments are analyzed. Then, the concept of spatiotemporal process visualization is
3、introduced, and the principles and methods of spatiotemporal process visualization with GIS technology are discussed. Finally, a case study is carried out to demonstrate the visualization of spatiotemporal processes in the Yangtze River Estuary, China.IntroductionEstuaries and coasts are important t
4、ransitional zones between land and sea, which are characterized by complex physicochemical processes, biological processes, and human activities. The spatiotemporal processes of estuarine and coastal environments are influenced by many factors, such as hydrodynamics, sediment transport, water qualit

With GIS technology, it is possible to integrate various types of data, such as satellite imagery, sensor data, hydrodynamic models, and socio-economic data, into a unified database, and to visualize and analyze the spat
7、iotemporal relationships between different variables.Spatiotemporal Processes in Estuarine and Coastal EnvironmentsEstuaries and coasts are dynamic and heterogeneous environments, where many physical, chemical, and biological processes interact with each other. Hydrodynamic processes, such as tides,
8、 waves, and currents, are the most important factors that control the transport and mixing of water and sediment in estuaries and coasts. The interaction between freshwater and saline water, as well as the deposition and erosion of sediment, determines the spatial and temporal variation of water qua

The distribution and abundance of organisms are influenced by a variety of factors, such as temperature, salinity, l
10、ight, nutrients, and habitat availability. Human activities, such as fishing, agriculture, urbanization, and industrialization, have significant impacts on the ecological and environmental functions of estuaries and coasts.Spatiotemporal Process Visualization with GIS TechnologyThe visualization of
