Spatial science

Spatial science

Spatial science is an academic discipline incorporating fields such as surveying, geographic information systems, hydrography and cartography. Spatial science is typically concerned with the measurement, management, analysis and display of spatial information describing the Earth, its physical features and the built environment [http://www.bee.qut.edu.au/study/courses/undergraduate/spatial.jsp Queensland University of Technology, "Undergratuate Program - Spatial Science (Surveying)"] ] .

The term "spatial science" is primarily used in Australia.

Australian universities which offer degrees in spatial science include the Queensland University of Technology, Curtin University of Technology [ [http://www.spatial.curtin.edu.au/courses.html Curtin University of Technology - Spatial science courses] ] and the University of Tasmania [ [http://www.utas.edu.au/spatial/courses.html University of Tasmania, Centre for Spatial Information Science, "Courses"] ] .

Spatial information practitioners within the Asia-Pacific region are represented by the professional body called the Spatial Sciences Institute.
