History
- The current department draws its foundations from the original departments of the University of Agriculture in Brno (1919): Czech Forestry Institute (established 1920, independent from 1951) and the Geodetic Institute (established 1921).
- Between 1986 and 1992, the then Department of Geodesy and Photogrammetry and the Department of Forest Management were merged into the Department of Forest Management and Geodesy (headed by Assoc. Prof. Polák).
- In 2005, the Department of Geodesy and Photogrammetry was renamed to the Department of Geoinformation Technologies.
- In 2014, the departments merged again to form the current Department of Forest Management and Applied Geoinformatics.
