Undergraduate Certificate Program:
Environmental Geomatics



Environmental geomatics synthesizes a number of concepts and techniques, including remote sensing, spatial analysis, informatics and global positioning that are used to improve the planning and management of natural resource systems. These techniques include the development of complex spatial databases from a wide range of data sources and the application of this information to solve environmental problems. The undergraduate option is intended for undergraduate students interested in pursuing graduate and professional studies in remote sensing, environmental planning/management and geomatics.
