Concentration in Geomatics: Geomatics makes use of ground-based sensors, such as terrestrial lidar, GPS or total stations, to geo-reference ground features. These data are integrated in a GIS or digital mapping system to produce paper and digital representations of these features. Satellite and airborne sensors provide spatial data over larger areas. Increasingly, Geomatics explores the fusion of different forms of these technologies for addressing development and conservation problems. Geomatics deals with the theory, technology, and methods for collecting, analyzing, and managing spatial information. Geomatics deals with cadastral systems which define property rights and boundaries. Students completing 12 or more credits with an SUR designation as part of an SFRC master's degree, or 15 or more credits with an SUR designation as part of an SFRC doctoral degree, may earn the concentration in Geomatics.
