Geomatics engineering to oceanography
Our take
Hello everyone,
I’m currently studying Geoinformatics Engineering in a five-year program. The curriculum is quite broad, covering everything from GIS to programming, without focusing on a specific domain like urban planning or environmental studies. This flexibility allows us to apply geomatics technologies across various fields.
I’ve always been passionate about the ocean and the technologies used to study it. Because of this, I’m planning to pursue a master’s degree in Ocean Data Acquisition and Processing. I’m particularly interested in how geomatics intersects with marine sciences, including remote sensing, hydrography, and data analytics for ocean monitoring.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this path! What are the job prospects in this field? Are there any specific skills or technologies I should focus on to improve my career opportunities? If anyone has experience working in ocean-related geomatics, I’d really appreciate your insights.
Looking forward to your advice!

- Perspectives on Undergraduate paths?I'm a senior about ready to choose a college. I'm really interested in doing physical oceanography; I love to program, doing math, and physics and I think I would really enjoy modeling. I'm also interested in field work, data collection, and robotics. I'm a little stuck as to whether I should do Physics or Ocean Engineering as my undergraduate major. I'll quite likely do at least a masters related to oceanography too. I know I want to do some real oceanography work, especially research with professors, and my three options (UNH, URI, and UmassD) all have great ocean research opportunities (URI possibly being the best with their own RV but it's hard to tell without being involved with the institutions). UNH and URI seem to have great Ocean Engineering programs, and URI also has a Physics and Physical Oceanography major which seems really niche without a lot of information at least online. UmassD doesn't actually have any oceanography related major but they have what seems to be a really good and interesting Computational Physics degree and the professors say a lot of their students do research with their marine science graduate school. Overall I'm looking for a well-rounded education where I can do relevant work and be exposed to different things I might be interested in. I would love to hear the perspectives of professionals or graduate students! submitted by /u/Independent-Swim6257 [link] [comments]
- What does it take to work in oceanography?I'm a recently graduated software engineer with a comp sci bachelors and have always had some interest in the ocean. Company just did layoffs and I've been feeling the desire to explore things I'm more interested in as I become more disillusioned with the industry I joined(too early in life for this?). In my free time these days I've been looking into institutions like mbari and whoi and thought they seemed like interesting and fulfilling places to work. I'm wondering what it would take to be able to work at a place like those with my background and what path I would need to take? I think working on those ocean robots is super cool and I'd love to be involved in studying ocean creatures! submitted by /u/cookiezderp [link] [comments]
