Geomatica

Aims & Scope

Geomatica is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal which aims to cover all aspects of geomatic sciences, including earth observations, geographic information sciences (GIS), geodesy and global positioning system (GPS), surveying and mapping, global navigation satellite system (GNSS), cadaster and law, hydrography, remote sensing, and photogrammetry.

The Journal is committed to publishing innovative, quality research from a wide variety of perspectives and diverse data.

Theoretical, algorithmic, experimental, and methodological aspects which contribute to the geomatic sciences and allied technologies (e.g., GeoAI), as well as novel applications to the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, terrestrial domains at global to local scales, and within specific niche areas, are also within the scope of Geomatica.

The Journal welcomes contributions on geomatics pedagogy, as well as submissions from the social sciences and humanities that leverage geospatial information.

The Journal aims to be a communication channel for researchers, scientists, and professionals across the world.
