These technologies can be used independently or in combination to solve contemporary problems in the field of environmental sustainability. The term, geospatial technology, is an umbrella term that is typically used to describe the “use of a number of different high-tech systems and tools that acquire, analyze, manage, store and visualize various types of location-based data” (Shellito, 2016, p. 2). Some of these high-tech systems and tools include geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing, which you will explore in more detail throughout the module.
