Geo-information science and technology is a discipline that studies the acquisition, processing, analysis, and application of geo-information. The postgraduate research direction of geoinformation science and technology mainly focuses on the following aspects:
Remote sensing
Remote sensing refers to the technology of using means on the earth or in outer space to observe and obtain information on the ground or water bodies. Remote sensing is an important part of geo-information science and technology, and is the main means of obtaining geospatial information. The examination subjects in this direction are: Politics, English, and Fundamentals of Remote Sensing.
Graduates majoring in remote sensing can be engaged in remote sensing application, research, teaching and other work in ** departments, scientific research institutes, enterprises and other units.
Geographic Information Systems
Geographic information system (GIS) is a system that uses computer technology to store, manage, analyze, process, and display geospatial data. Geographic information system (GIS) is an important part of geo-information science and technology, and is the main means of processing and analyzing geospatial information. The examination subjects in this direction are: Politics, English, Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems.
Graduates majoring in geographic information systems can be engaged in GIS application, research, teaching and other work in ** departments, scientific research institutes, enterprises and other units.
Cartography
Cartography is the study of the theory, method, and technology of maps. Cartography is an important foundation of geo-information science and technology, and an important tool for people to obtain, transmit and use geospatial information. The subjects of the examination in this field are: Politics, English, and Fundamentals of Cartography.
Graduates majoring in cartography can be engaged in map production, map application, map research and other work in ** departments, scientific research institutes, enterprises and other units.
Future development of geo-information science and technology
With the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous progress of science and technology, geo-information science and technology will be more widely used. Graduates majoring in geoinformation science and technology will have broad employment prospects, and can be engaged in research, application, and teaching of geoinformation science and technology in ** departments, scientific research institutes, enterprises and other units.
