Bridging Geomatics and Geo-Engineering

Geomatics is the science and technology of the 3D acquisition, processing and visualisation of geo-information, the information which is related to the Earth. The MSc programme in Geomatics offered by TU Delft is jointly operated by three faculties: Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering and Geosciences and Technology, Policy and Management. It educates interdisciplinary engineers who will contribute to the entire information chain in a broad range of topics from Civil Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences and among others, in the field of geo-engineering. Because the profile of incoming students is varied, convergence and deficiency courses tailored to individual needs are organised at the start of the academic year. The programme is organised in 3 domains, acquisition, processing and applications. A coherent package of geo-engineering courses is proposed allowing students to link surface observations of the Earth to processes taking place in the ground, and to develop appropriate decision-making tools for land development, early warning systems, etc.
