摘要：Our environment is fundamentally spatial and temporal in nature, Geomatics has come to play an increasingly important role in attempts to better manage our planet. Applications of Geomatics ranges from: providing observations and understanding of large-scale planetary conditions and global change, developing tools for quantifying the elusive concept of environmental quality, supporting ecosystem management by developing spatially explicit models at a range of spatial and temporal scales and to assess, measuring and mapping the impacts of human intervention and pollution on the environment, and forecasting, preventing and evaluating natural risks and disasters. As part of the GEOIDE (Geomatics for Informed Decisions) Network, new research and methods are currently under development to address these issues. This talk presents GEOIDE's research program and structure where "Application Projects" are closely related to applications and involve an active participation of the industrial and governmental sectors, and "Support Projects" are fundamental research projects that apply to a given domain. Furthermore, the projects are classified in application sectors called "Thrust" (Natural and Resources, Environment and Marine, Transportation and Commerce, Health and Social Services) and science and technology domains called "Theme" (Data Acquisition, Data Management, Decision Support). For example, the following research areas are funded by GEOIDE: temporal GIS, more effective use of remote sensing data, modeling for providing better understanding of the systemic aspects of the relationship between humans and the environment and for understanding the limitations of data due to error, spatial analysis, and visualization techniques in support of public participation
