Geomatics Engineering is the art, science and technology of precision mapping of the Earth.
Geomatics technology and techniques are used in a wide variety of highly practical fields such as forestry, agriculture, geology, mining, oceanography, hydrography, environmental management, urban planning, public utilities, transport, navigation, defence, medical epidemiology, disaster management, geomarketing, health emergency responses, and business and commerce.
York’s strengths in Geomatics Engineering include: the measurement of the deformation of the earth due to tides and the melting of glaciers, digital mapping and 3D reconstruction from satellite images; deriving biophysical parameters of forest canopies from remote sensing data; studies of the motion of the earth’s core.
