Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering
Geodesy study of the size and shape of the
earth and the nature of the earths gravity field.
Geomatics encompassing the art, science, and
technology involved in collecting and managing
geospatially-referenced information
4
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!

5
Geomatics Engineers...

• ...use advanced instrumentation for precise
  positioning and measurements on engineering,
  mining, property development, and boundary
  determination projects.

6

Geomatics Engineers employ airborne and satellite
data from state-of-the-art computerized imaging
systems for topographic, environmental, and
resource mapping.
7
Geomatics Engineers...

• integrate position, time, and movement into
  sophisticated transportation, navigation, and
  management information systems

8
Geomatics Engineers...

• ...develop software to depict measurements and
  analyses of the earth's surface, both on land and
  in the oceans.

9
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?
