Geospatial Technologies are used to capture, store, manage, measure, display and analyze physical and cultural features and phenomena.  Core geospatial technologies are known as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and Remote Sensing (RS). 

GIS includes the computer software, hardware, data and applications required to perform the bulk of processing, management and the analysis work required to achieve the desired results of the technology application. 

GPS provides a technological framework for the capture of accurate locational information for features stored in a GIS through the application of satellite communications technology. 

RS includes a set of tools and technologies that support the location, identification and classification of features from remotely-sensed source data such as satellite images, aerial photography and a host of similar data types.  Taken together, this group of related technologies is applied in myriad ways to address a host of problems and issues on a world-wide basis, from the adverse environmental impacts of rampant, unplanned development to the more utilization of resources that current environmental and economic conditions demand.
