Geomatics
Geomatics is the science and technology of gathering, analyzing, interpreting, distributing and using geographic information. Geomatics encompasses a broad range of disciplines that can be brought together to create a detailed but understandable picture of the physical world and our place in it. These disciplines include:
surveying & mapping;
remote sensing;
geographic information systems (GIS); and
global positioning system (GPS)
Geomatics is one of the fastest-growing technology sectors of the 1990s. Applications areas include the environment; land management and reform; development planning; infrastructure management; natural resource monitoring and development; and coastal zone management and mapping.

Sites in Geomatics
Lawrence Lau's GPS research page
Detail of research into a processing algorithm for deformation monitoring and a brief introduction into GPS technology.
Delft Institute for Earth-Oriented Space Research
Research activities related to processing and analyzing space based Earth observations and modeling/computing the high precision satellite orbits that are often required for that type of analysis. Geodesy is also a research area.
Digital Earth
U.S. interagency Digital Earth working group: federal effort to implement Vice President Gore's Digital Earth concept (a vision for a global geospatial information network).
Leuven Earth Observation
L.E.O. was established at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven to develop new application technologies in the field of earth observation in response to the growing needs of industrial and governmental sectors. Members of L.E.O. are experts in the fields of sensor design, satellite steering, communications, terrestrial system modeling, signal and image processing, user interfaces and spatial data analysis.
Institute of Mathematical Geography
Articles, papers and Solstice, an electronic journal of the interaction between geography and mathematics.
