Geomatics is the science and technology of gathering, analyzing, interpreting, distributing and using geographic information. Geomatics encompasses a broad range of disciplines that can be brought together to create a detailed but understandable picture of the physical world and our place in it. These disciplines include:
surveying & mapping;
remote sensing;
geographic information systems (GIS); and
global positioning system (GPS)
Geomatics is one of the fastest-growing technology sectors of the 1990s. Applications areas include the environment; land management and reform; development planning; infrastructure management; natural resource monitoring and development; and coastal zone management and mapping.

Project aimed at providing a spatial planning tool that can be used for assessing, monitoring and modelling the development of urban and regional environments. moland.jrc.it
Research activities related to processing and analyzing space based Earth observations and modeling/computing the high precision satellite orbits that are often required for that type of analysis. Geodesy is also a research area. www.deos.tudelft.nl
