What is Cartography and Remote Sensing?
Cartography is the study of mapping, while remote sensing is the science of obtaining information about objects or phenomena around the earth's surface without going through direct contact, but by using a recording device that utilizes energy from electromagnetic waves to produce images . So, what you will learn in the Cartography and Remote Sensing study program is how to get spatial geographic information and present it in the form of maps, pictures, tables, and so on.
