Given the pace of changes taking place in the development of novel ecosystems, as well as the speed of creation of these new ecosystems, the issues of speed and low costs of obtaining information concerning their environments is becoming extremely important. Geoinformatics techniques have proven to be a very useful tool. This science combines other various branches of science, including physical, biological and social sciences. Methods such as satellite Remote Sensing, Global Positioning Systems, Geographical Information Systems, and information systems, together with ground-based research, form the basis of the field called geoinformatics (Murthy et al. 2003). The main purpose of geoinformatics is to support the process of collecting spatially oriented measurement data, their advanced analysis and final presentation of the results, including spatial visualizations.

Geoinformatics has been described as “the science and technology dealing with the structure and character of spatial information, its capture, its classification and qualification, its storage, processing, portrayal and dissemination, including the infrastructure necessary to secure optimal use of this information” or “the art, science or technology dealing with the acquisition, storage, processing production, presentation and dissemination of geoinformation.” Branches of geoinformatics include cartography, remote sensing, web mapping, spatial analysis and geographic information systems.

With growing (and better) Internet access, the potential to enhance secondary and tertiary school curricula (introducing applications of geoscience, geoinformatics, remote sensing, earth observation, and satellite technology), and a plethora of freely accessible data provided by various institutions, a lot of the young generation will find themselves discovering the applications of these technologies and the data they provide and some, will direct their career towards these fields.
