The Future

Geoinformatics, the analysis of geospatial data, is becoming critical for:

  • Disaster Preparation and Response
  • Public Health and Medical Care
  • Agriculture
  • Facilities Site Selection
  • Pollution Monitoring and Control
  • Shipping and Fisheries
  • Mineral Exploration

These activities are normally the domains of specialists in geography, medicine, agriculture, etc.

Engineering, in one or many forms, is a necessary foundation for all of these activities.
