Geographic information science concerns the use of geographic information and data acquired from satellites and airborne platforms, and from ground-based measurements and surveys of human activity and the environment. Geographic information science students learn how to work with geospatial data to study relationships, patterns and trends. In the U.S. the explosion of geospatial data and their increasing use in business, government and people’s everyday lives has led to a growing demand for qualified geographic information science graduates. Geospatial science is developing rapidly, associated with developments in mobile, satellite and airborne remote sensing, computational and big data technologies.
