Geomatics is the science of geospatial data acquisition, management, manipulation, analysis and visualization to answer geographical questions. Geomatics technologies are now ubiquitous in modern society and play a critical role in everyday life. Think, for example, of recent, game-changing technologies such as Uber, Google Maps and the current push towards autonomous (driverless) automobiles. Beyond these obvious examples, geomatics also cuts across many disciplines and application areas and affect more and more people everyday, including fields such as environmental science, resource management and conservation, urban and transportation planning, healthcare, business and politics.
