University of New Brunswick
Geodesy — study of the size and shape of the earth and the nature of the earth’s gravity field. Geomatics — encompassing the art, science, and technology involved in collecting and managing geospatially-referenced information Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering
For what kinds of things do we need geospatial information? Municipal Engineering Highway Design and Construction Environmental studies; Management of land and marine resources; Monitoring of dams, oil fields, and mines for subsidence or movement; Navigation of ships and aircraft; Oceanography; Real estate transactions; Tourism... Market Research … and lots more!
Geomatics Engineers......use advanced instrumentation for precise positioning and measurements on engineering, mining, property development, and boundary determination projects.
Geomatics Engineers employ airborne and satellite data from state-of-the-art computerized imaging systems for topographic, environmental, and resource mapping.
Geomatics Engineers... integrate position, time, and movement into sophisticated transportation, navigation, and management information systems;
Geomatics Engineers......develop software to depict measurements and analyses of the earth's surface, both on land and in the oceans.
Geomatics Engineers......use their interest in math, science, computers, and the environment to find answers to the questions: what is it? where is it? and how much is there?
