volunteered geographic information, because it will help the geographer see where life expectancy is low

GPS, because it will help the geographer identify locations using geotagging

Answer 1

The most significant geospatial technology for conducting an analysis of possible spatial associations is **GIScience, because it will help the geographer conduct quantitative analysis of layered information**.

GIScience allows geographers to analyze spatial relationships and patterns by integrating various data layers (such as demographics, environmental data, infrastructure, etc.), facilitating a deeper understanding of spatial associations and trends within the data. This capability is crucial for interpreting complex spatial phenomena effectively.
