2. "Geomatics is the modern scientific term referring to the integrated approach of measurement, analysis, and management of the descriptions and locations of Earth-based data, often termed spatial data. These data come from many sources, including earth orbiting satellites, air and sea-borne sensors and ground based instruments. It is processed and manipulated with state-of-the-art information technology using computer software and hardware.
"Geomatics has applications in all disciplines which depend on spatial data, including environmental studies, planning, engineering, navigation, geology and geophysics, land development and land ownership. It is thus fundamental to all geoscience disciplines which use spatially related data, such as- Surveying, Geodesy, Remote Sensing & Photogrammetry, Cartography, Geographic Information Systems and Global Positioning Systems." -University of Florida Geomatics Home Page
