What is Geomatics?
Read the planet like a dataset: capture Earth with sensors, satellites, and drones, then turn that data into decisions.
Geomatics is the interdisciplinary science of acquiring, managing, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial data to solve real‑world problems; in a geomatics degree you learn remote sensing and satellite/drone data capture, GPS and GNSS positioning, geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial databases, cartography and map design, photogrammetry and surveying, spatial statistics and quantitative methods, and software skills for data processing, visualization, and basic programming, with hands‑on fieldwork, lab exercises, co‑op or practicum options, and capstone projects that prepare you for careers in environmental assessment, urban and transportation planning, resource management, surveying and hydrography, public health mapping, location‑based services, and geospatial software and analytics.
