Geoinformatics is the science and art of
- Measuring
- Storing
- Organizing
- Analyzing
- Visualizing
data related to phenomena occurring on or near the earth’s surface.
For analyzing information related to earth, Geo-informatics combines
- Geo-Spatial analysis
- Modeling
- Geo-Spatial databases
- Human-computer interaction
- Both wired and wireless networking technologies
APPLICATIONS OF GEO-INFORMATICS
Many fields benefit from geoinformatics, few of them includes
- Urban planning and land use management
- Tourism
- Virtual globes
- Local and national gazetteer management
- Environmental modeling and analysis
- Military
- Transport network planning and management
- Agriculture
- Meteorology and climate change
- Telecommunications
BRANCHES OF GEO-INFORMATICS
