| | Overview |
 | | Geomatics Engineering is concerned with the development of new technologies for the acquisition, analysis, management and distribution of geospatial data and with the creation and implementation of new decision-making tools and applications based on the geospatial information. |
 | | Geomatics Engineering uses terrestrial, marine, airborne and spacecraft sensors that are referenced to a national, highly accurate and globally consistent, three-dimensional spatial reference frame to acquire data for a wide range of applications. |
 | | Geomatics technology and techniques are used in a wide variety of 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. |
