Geographic Information Science (GIScience)

Geographic Information Science (GIScience) is the study of how we use technology to gather, analyze, and visualize geographic data. It combines concepts from geography, computer science, and information science to help us understand patterns and relationships in the physical world. GIScience allows us to create maps, model environments, and make informed decisions based on spatial information—impacting fields like urban planning, environmental management, and disaster response. By integrating data from various sources, it enhances our ability to visualize and solve complex problems related to location and geography.
