As a result of growing population and economic growth, the task of managing land and natural resources is becoming increasingly important. To keep up with demand, planners and resource managers now make significant use of sophisticated and powerful computerized Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS users such as land and urban planners, natural resource managers and application scientists rely on the availability of up-to-date, well-structured data.

Data from aerial imagery, satellite imagery, global positioning systems and other attributes are often used as a tool with modern technology. Technical means are necessary to extract data from these sources and to make accurate georeferencing of data. In addition, the system needs to integrate local data and present it in quality maps and other output. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to start an advanced GIS program for physical and natural sciences students by focusing earth and environmental issues at the postgraduate level.

1. Provide theoretical knowledge and practical training to students for production, interpretation, analysis and display of spatial data and maps.
2. Train students to communicate prudently with real or possible world events.
3. To provide students with in-depth knowledge of a specific aspect of the GIS applications in physical and natural sciences.

The program aims to train students to work at a supervisory level in a rapidly changing earth environment, to produce quality map and geo-information invention environment. It focuses on the latest technology.
