/ Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss applications of topological data analysis (TDA) to spatial systems. We briefly review the recently proposed level-set construction of filtered simplicial complexes, and we then examine persistent homology in two cases studies: street networks in Shanghai and hotspots of COVID-19 infections. We then summarize our results and provide an outlook on TDA in spatial systems.
