Welcome!
My name is Noel and I have dubbed myself the Geomatics Guru.
I hope we will learn a lot over the course of this blog, but the first thing you need to know is this: I am nothing like a guru, I have no business calling myself a guru, and when it comes to Geomatics there is always something new to learn.
Why start a blog about Geomatics?
What’s so important about Geomatics?
I’ve thought long and hard about the above questions and my main reasons for starting this blog are:
- I enjoy writing, would like to do more, and eventually hope to become a freelance writer.
- Geomatics is a very interesting profession and I want to share my love of this industry with the world.
For the past 14 years I have been immersed in the study and practice of Geomatics. I am constantly frustrated and irritated that Geomatics is a mystery to so many people.
So, let’s learn together!
Geomatics is a continually changing and evolving industry and there are many topics we can learn about together:
- 3D Laser Scanning
- UAVs and Drones
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- GNSS Surveying
- Robotic Total Stations
- GNSS Networks of Base Stations
- Open Source Data and Software Solutions
- and so much more!!!
As I mentioned at the beginning of this blog – I am in no way qualified to call myself a Geomatics Guru. It is my goal to make Geomatics less of a mystery, make it feel fun and maybe a bit more accessible, and learn a bit in the process.
Please join me on this adventure!
