Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies' photostream  

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies is designed in response to the growing need for coordination and collaboration of teaching and research efforts that involve the implementation of geomatic techniques. Geomatics subsumes the art, science, and technologies related to the management of geographically and spatially referenced information.

This rapidly expanding field includes a wide range of activities such as the acquisition and analysis of site-specific data for innovative architectural conceptual design, fabrication, and inspection; manufacturing and reverse engineering; archaeological documentation and preservation; historical and legal archiving; transportation research, design, and engineering; biomedical engineering; and forensic science.

As well, land-use and development surveys and cultural and environmental resource management are improved through the application of geomatics along with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies.

Our website has recently been updated, and we are blogging our archaeological expedition to TakAlik Abaj here - aistexpeditionjournal.wordpress.com. We invite you to follow our progress.
