Spatial Science is an academic discipline incorporating fields such as surveying, geographic information systems, hydrography and cartography. Spatial science is typically concerned with the measurement, management, analysis and display of spatial information describing the Earth, its physical features and the built environment^[1].

The term spatial science is primarily used in Australia.

Australian universities which offer degrees in spatial science include the Queensland University of Technology^[1], Curtin University^[2], the University of Tasmania^[3] and Melbourne University^[4].

Texas A&M University offers a bachelors degree in Spatial Sciences and is home to its own Spatial Sciences Laboratory ^[5].

Spatial information practitioners within the Asia-Pacific region are represented by the professional body called the Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI).
