Focus and Scope
The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original papers within the broad discipline of Geomatics (including surveying techniques, technology, and applications; mine surveying; hydrographic surveying; cadastral systems; land tenure; development planning; GIS; photogrammetry; and remote sensing). The journal is designed to serve as a reference source and an archive of advancements in these disciplines.
