Geographic Information Science and Remote Sensing emphasizes using geospatial technology to analyze the spatial interactions among natural and social forces at multiple scales across the Earth’s surface, and exploring the impacts of using such technology on social and cultural interactions. Geospatial technology, which is a major geographic method, has been identified by multiple sources as one the key areas where job growth is expected in the coming years through 2030. The ESRI website provides a good summary of opportunities in GIS.
