About GES
Exploring, Learning, and Innovating in Geomatics Engineering at Kathmandu University.
Our Mission
To empower students in geomatics engineering by fostering continuous learning, technical innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. We provide hands-on workshops, field surveys, and real-world projects that connect classroom theory with practical geospatial applications.
Our Vision
To cultivate a vibrant, forward-thinking community of geomatics students who explore, create, and apply spatial technologies to address real-world environmental and infrastructural challenges within Nepal and across the global geospatial landscape.
Our Geomatics Expertise Areas
Explore the specialized geospatial disciplines our members research and practice.
GIS & Spatial Analysis
Manage, analyze, and model spatial data using industry GIS platforms, collaborative web mapping, and spatial problem-solving workflows.
Remote Sensing
Analyze satellite and multispectral imagery to monitor environmental changes, land cover classification, and natural resource tracking.
Photogrammetry & UAV
Hands-on 3D terrain modeling, orthophoto generation, and aerial reconstruction from drone imagery and Structure-from-Motion (SfM).
GNSS & Positioning
Practical field exposure to high-precision GPS, RTK surveying, and satellite navigation protocols for millimeter-level accuracy.
LiDAR & 3D Scanning
Process high-density point clouds, terrestrial laser scanning, and elevation models for infrastructure and topographical mapping.
Cartography & Viz
Design modern interactive maps, apply cartographic principles, and effectively communicate complex spatial insights.
Our Milestone Journey
A decade of student leadership, technical excellence, and society achievements.
Establishment
GES was officially established under the Department of Geomatics Engineering at Kathmandu University as a student-led academic society.
Early Development
GES initiated technical training sessions, seminars, and interaction forums to build foundational skills in GIS and land surveying.
