Geographic Information Science & Technology (GIS&T)

Geographic Information Science & Technology (GIS&T) is the study and use of computer systems and methods to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data—that is, information tied to specific locations on Earth's surface. It combines geography, computer science, and data analysis to help understand patterns, relationships, and changes in the environment, cities, and communities. GIS&T is used in various fields like urban planning, environmental management, transportation, and public health to support informed decision-making and problem-solving based on geographic information.
