  1. University of New Brunswick

  2. Geodesyand Geomatics Engineering Geodesy — study of the size and shape of the earth and the nature of the earth’s gravity field. Geomatics — encompassing the art, science, and technology involved in collecting and managing geospatially-referenced information

  3. For what kinds of things do we need geospatial information? • Municipal Engineering • Highway Design and Construction • Environmental studies; • Management of land and marine resources; • Monitoring of dams, oil fields, and mines for subsidence or movement; • Navigation of ships and aircraft; • Oceanography; • Real estate transactions; • Tourism ... Market Research … and lots more!

  4. Geomatics Engineers... • ...use advanced instrumentation for precise positioning and measurements on engineering, mining, property development, and boundary determination projects.

  5. Geomatics Engineers employ airborne and satellite data from state-of-the-art computerized imaging systems for topographic, environmental, and resource mapping.

  6. Geomatics Engineers... • integrate position, time, and movement into sophisticated transportation, navigation, and management information systems;

  7. Geomatics Engineers... ...develop software to depict measurements and analyses of the earth's surface, both on land and in the oceans.

  8. Geomatics Engineers... • ...use their interest in math, science, computers, and the environment to find answers to the questions: what is it? where is it? and how much is there?
