Thus, Geomatics is a broad, interdisciplinary field that integrates the science, technology, and art of acquiring, analysing, interpreting, visualising, sharing, disseminating, and applying spatially referenced data and information across different landscapes and timelines. It is key to organising, perceiving, interpreting, and anticipating spatial developments and geolocation-based activities across diverse landscapes and time horizons. Geomatics encompasses specialised subfields, such as geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, cartography, geographic information systems (GIS), and land administration—drawing on mathematical, computational, and engineering foundations to derive insights from geospatial data. It also addresses relevant legal, societal, and ethical considerations to ensure effective communication and responsible use of spatial information.

Geomatics/Geospatial Engineering is an applied branch of Geomatics that deals with the technological and spatial aspects of design, planning, implementation, monitoring, and management of accurate and precise measurements, as well as the analytical and decision-support models that underpin geodata-driven solutions on, above, or below the Earth’s surface.
