The geospatial technology industry – which includes geographic information systems (GIS), light detection and ranging, global navigation systems, remote sensing, and location-based services – is growing strong every year.
Over the next decade, there will be steady demand for trained geographers in the fields of programming, scientific enquiry, technical sciences, and engineering.
Geographic skills guide our important decisions every day. From business to science to politics, our physical landscape and environment dictates the debates happening today that will be in the history books tomorrow.
