Overview
Geographic Information Science (GIScience) and Geoinformatics are spatial and temporal data sciences that integrate multiple sources of information through location. These fields allow us to generate new knowledge on Earth, humans, Environment, and the interactions of people and place through space and time. GIScience and Geoinformation leverage and influence many fields including remote sensing, photogrammetry, spatial analysis, computer science, global navigation (satellite) systems, cartography, and spatial cognition. With diverse applications (e.g., geoscience, transportation, ecology, health, wayfinding), GIScience and Geoinformatics are critical to understanding, managing, and monitoring our complex world.
