Why Study Geospatial Data Analytics?
Use spatial data to to better visualize and understand the world’s most complex challenges
Geospatial technologies enable researchers, 社区, and industries to address analytical problems where location is an essential parameter. A geographic information system (GIS) integrates the location data in maps with a wide range of information. This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used in almost every field. Examining data in relation to its geographic location can help policy makers, researchers and 社区 discover new spatial patterns, 趋势, 和联系.
Geospatial analytics continues to gain prominence across industries due to the abundance of geospatial data available, such as location coordinates and satellite images. Advances in cloud computing, 模型, and sensing technologies have also enhanced geospatial data analysis capabilities, enabling students to gain a deeper understanding of complex environmental and social patterns.
As a student in the geospatial data analytics concentration, you’ll gain a comprehensive skillset for a diverse range of careers or graduate study. By integrating geospatial data into data science and analytics, you’ll uncover valuable insights and patterns.
