Geomatics

Geomatics is the science and technology of gathering, analyzing, and managing spatial information about the Earth's surface. It combines various fields, including geodesy, which focuses on measuring the Earth's shape and gravitational field, with techniques like GPS and remote sensing. Geomatics helps in mapping locations, tracking changes in the environment, and supporting urban planning, natural resource management, and navigation. Essentially, it provides the tools and methods to understand and visualize our world in spatial terms, facilitating informed decision-making across many sectors.
