Geospatial Information Science

Geospatial Information Science (GIScience) is the study of how to collect, analyze, and interpret data related to the Earth's surface and the environment. It combines geography, cartography, and computer science to create maps and models that represent spatial information. In the context of geodesy, which measures the Earth's shape and gravitational field, GIScience helps improve our understanding of land use, natural resources, and environmental changes. This knowledge is vital for urban planning, disaster management, and environmental protection, allowing us to make informed decisions based on geographic data.
