What is Geomatics? Location, location, location …
What is Geomatics? Geomatics is a field of study that applies scientific and technological tools to collect, analyze, and visualize data related to the earth’s surface. It is also referred to as surveying and mapping, or geospatial information science.
Geomatics includes a range of activities, such as collecting, organizing, and interpreting geographical data, using mathematical and statistical methods.
The word “geomatics” originated in the mid-20th century and is derived from two ancient roots: “geo-” and “-matics.”
“Geo-” comes from the ancient Greek word “ge” (γῆ), meaning “earth” or “land.”
“-Matics” is a suffix that denotes a field of study or discipline. It is derived from the Greek word “mathēma” (μάθημα), meaning “knowledge” or “learning.”
Combining these roots, “geomatics” can be understood as the study or knowledge related to the measurement, representation, analysis, and management of data pertaining to the Earth’s surface and its features.
The term “geomatics” gained popularity in the 1960s as a modern replacement for the term “surveying.” It encompasses various disciplines such as land surveying, remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and cartography. Geomatics has evolved to incorporate advancements in technology, including the use of satellites, aerial photography, and digital mapping.
The meaning of the word has changed over time, reflecting the expansion and integration of geospatial technologies into various fields. Today, geomatics plays a crucial role in land management, urban planning, environmental assessment, transportation, and many other areas that require the collection, analysis, and interpretation of spatial data.
Geomatics encompasses a Range of Activities

Geographical based data can include satellite images, aerial photographs, digital elevation models, and other geospatial data.
Geomatics originated in Canada in the early 1960s. It began as a scientific field of study focused on the development and use of advanced technologies to collect, analyze, store, and manage geospatial data.
Geomatics professionals use a combination of data and tools
Geomatics professionals use this data to create maps, diagrams, and other visualizations that can help people better understand the environment. They might create a map of a city to show traffic patterns, or a diagram of a forest to help monitor the health of a particular area.
Geomatics professionals use a variety of tools to collect and analyze data. These tools can include Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to measure distances and directions, sonar systems to measure depths, and remote sensing technology to collect data from a distance. They use computer programs to store, manipulate, and visualize the data.
Geomatics professionals use their expertise to help people make informed decisions. For example, they might use their data to help decide where to build a new roadway or where to locate a new school. Their work can also help people monitor and protect the environment.
So you can see, geomatics is a field of study that uses scientific and technological tools to collect and analyze data about the earth’s surface. This geospatial data is used to create visualizations, such as maps and diagrams, that help people make informed decisions. Geomatics professionals use their expertise to help protect the environment and make the world a better place.
