It is one of the scientific departments that were created this year 2015 in the College of Science / University of Baghdad. It is considered the only department in Iraq that prepares primary cadres in the field of remote sensing, processing and analysis of images and digital satellite and geoinformatics data. The idea of creating it came in response to the requirements of the labor market and the intense desire and urgent need. Such a specialization is created due to the need of various state institutions for such modern specializations, as this department combines in its vocabulary the departments of earth sciences, physics, and computers, as well as the departments of civil engineering and surveying engineering, in addition to the concepts of remote sensing and processing and analysis of digital images.
