Geomatics and Spacial Analysis

The field of geomatics uses science and information technologies to gather and manage spatial data. It draws on a variety of disciplines, such as geography, cartography, photogrammetrics, computer science, mathematics and statistics, as well as geographic information systems, global positioning system, and remote sensing. The applications of geomatics include health-care planning, epidemiology, criminology, environmental and resources monitoring and urban planning.
