The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a sub-field of geography, specifically part of technical geography.
- It has applications to both physical geography and human geography, although its techniques can be applied to many other fields of study as well as many different industries.
- As a field of study or profession, it can be contrasted with geographic information systems, which are the actual repositories of geospatial data, the software tools for carrying out relevant tasks, and the profession of GIS users.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geographic information science article was read about 9,800 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
