EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES / COMPUTER SCIENCE
Honours Geoinformatics
Note: No new students will be admitted to the program beginning Fall 2009.
There is a growing demand for people who have an understanding of information technology and application development, as well as the physical and environmental systems that they represent. Advances in geospatial technology have led to a need for graduates who can organize and analyze spatial data using Global Positioning Systems, Geographic Information Systems, and Remote Sensing methods. The Geoinformatics degree is designed to address these needs, and will provide students with the knowledge and skills that comes from integrating the disciplines of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Computer Science.
