1 Bachelor of Geospatial Science Inaugural intake 2015 Aleen Prasad and Dr Nick Rollings Geospatial Science Unit School of Geography, Earth Science and Environment The University of the South Pacific Geospatial Science at USP a)geospatial Developer Stream I am interested in the Bachelor data, Geospatial how we capture Science it, how we assure its quality and in developing Geospatial the databases Analyst and information systems we use to manage, manipulate Geospatial and Developer deliver it, both the data itself and as maps or visualizations Major in Geospatial Science b)geospatial Analyst stream Diploma Geospatial Science "I am interested in applying geospatial science and technologies to perform geospatial analyses for problem-solving, capturing data and communicating information through geovisualizations including Certificate Geospatial Science web-based maps." Field Survey Core GIS Geospatial Remote Mapping Spatial Databases Sensing I am interested in a career outside of geospatial science Cartography Analysis Programming Image but I would like a good grounding in geospatial science Interpretation to complement my chosen career. Foundations of Geospatial Science c) Major in Geospatial Science 1
