Dec. 6th, 2003 11:22 pmOK, I need a word. This word means "cause-explaining", as in looking at past events & explaining why things are now the way they are. Here's the sentence:
'This inability prevents geographers from using GIS in either a [cause-explaining] or predictive role, for as Hägerstrand noted as early as 1970, “geographical information is time as well as space-specific” (Gittings, 2003[a]).'
Yes, I realise the sentence as a whole kind of sucks. But I don't feel like refining it until I've got the word I want.
