Geographic Information Science & Systems (GIScience)

Geographic Information Science and Systems (GIScience) is the study of how to gather, analyze, and interpret geographic data—information related to locations on Earth. It involves understanding how to use computer technologies and spatial data to solve real-world problems, such as urban planning, environmental conservation, and disaster response. GIScience explores the principles behind Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which are software tools that store and visualize spatial information. Overall, it combines geography, data science, and technology to help us better understand and manage the world around us.
