About Geomatics
Aims
Geomatics (ISSN 2673-7418) is an international and interdisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal, published quarterly online by MDPI. Geomatics is a modern, technology-driven discipline that integrates data acquisition, processing, analysis, and visualization of geo-referenced information to support a wide range of applications in land, water, atmospheric, and extraterrestrial environments. Evolving from traditional surveying and mapping, Geomatics combines digital tools, sensor technologies, spatial algorithms, and geoinformatics to produce accurate 2D, 2.5D, and 3D representations essential for environmental monitoring, resource management, and informed decision-making. By providing validated spatial data and services, Geomatics serves as a vital foundation for scientific research, policy development, and sustainable solutions across diverse environmental and societal domains. Our aim is to publish papers on the latest advances, as well as review articles, concerning all aspects of the geomatic sciences and applications.
