Program Overview

Spatial Information Science (SIS) explores the way spatial information is derived and used. Spatial information is information about locations on the Earth's surface. It is important in the management of the local environment and for supporting environmental decision making. Applications include protecting wetlands, mineral exploration, routing emergency vehicles, optimising locations for new infrastructure, modelling climate change and land degradation. The field covers a wide range of technologies including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, global positioning systems, and digital aerial photography. Graduates with expertise in spatial science contribute to workplaces and research fields such as natural resource management, local government, emergency management, land administration, forestry, agriculture, marine environments, health, defence, education, infrastructure management, transport and more.
