The session will cover the use of GIS in landscape projects, focussing on monitoring landscape change, data resources that will be available soon, and challenges in mapping aspects of landscape character.

Diana has more than 20 years of experience in GIS, working in the UK and South Africa. She is passionate about using GIS to support sustainable planning and has worked extensively with Natural England to develop landscape monitoring and reporting approaches.

Diana is also the author of several technical and non-technical research reports and is interested in making information available and bringing strategic planning to life through innovative use of data and technology.

The CPD session is open to all members of the Landscape Institute. It is a valuable opportunity to learn about the ways in which GIS is being used to support strategic landscape planning.
