From forest harvests and new construction to shifting weather patterns that lead to droughts and floods, landscapes are constantly in flux. Join us for a session introducing Custom Land Use Land Cover (LULC) change maps from Impact Observatory, which enable decision makers to understand risks and anticipate change in near-real-time. These maps cover any area of interest, over user-specified time periods, from 2018 to the present. Covering 14 LULC classes, this dataset is ideal for understanding, tracking and assessing change. 

Join us for a conversation with Katy Densmore, Head of Business at Impact Observatory, and Katie Tyler, GIS & Remote Sensing Senior Associate for Lens, to learn more about the Custom Land Use Land Cover change maps and how this dataset can be used in Lens. We'll walk through different examples of how they can be used for monitoring and reporting, including managing forests and examining water levels and fire damage.
