Geoinformatics refers to the science of processing geospatial data for storage, analysis, and presentation. It involves acquiring, managing, analyzing, modeling, and developing tools for geospatial data. The three main components of geoinformatics are geographical information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and global positioning systems (GPS). GIS stores, analyzes, and displays both spatial and non-spatial data. Remote sensing acquires information about objects from a distance by analyzing the electromagnetic energy returned from objects. GPS provides precise location information expressed as latitude and longitude by measuring signals from satellites. Geoinformatics has many applications in fields like urban planning, environmental analysis, agriculture, and more.
