What is Geomatics?
Geomatics is a discipline with a focus on theacquisition, processing, management, presentation anddissemination of geo-information about the earth andfeatures with a fixed location on, above or below theearth’s surface.
It has a number of areas, some of which are:Cadastral Surveying, Engineering Surveying, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Geodesy,
Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing, Hydrographic Surveying and GIS
