Geographical Information Sciences (GIScience)

Geographical Information Sciences (GIScience) is the study of how to collect, analyze, and manage geographical data. It combines geography, technology, and data science to understand spatial relationships and patterns. GIScience uses tools like maps, satellite imagery, and software to visualize and interpret various phenomena, such as urban development, natural resources, and environmental changes. This field helps inform decisions in areas like city planning, disaster response, and conservation by providing insights into how location affects different processes and interactions in our world.
