> Lecture brief - All large organisations need to manage and organise large
> amounts of data and the Port of London Authority (PLA) is no exception to
> this. Within the Hydrographic Department GIS has been used for around 7
> years primarily for the production of hydrographic charts. The ability of
> GIS to improve the management and accessibility of data was recognised and
> following consultation it was decided that a corporate GIS should be
> developed to enhance the use of spatial data within the port. The PLA is
> now seeing significant advantages to using GIS in many of its departments,
> particularly in the use of Environmental data and is working with other
> partners, including the Environment Agency, RSPB and Kent and Essex Sea
> Fisheries Committee, to make data more accessible for decision making.
>
> Caroline Faulkner, until recently, was the GIS Developer/Manager at the
> Port of London Authority, based in the Hydrographic Department. She was
> responsible for the development and implementation of the PLA's intranet
> based GIS system and provided GIS support to the company. In January 2004
> she moved to Metoc plc as a Senior GIS Developer where she has been
> managing projects and implementation of GIS systems at various ports,
> including Milford Haven Port Authority and Harwich Haven Authority.
>
> She has a degree in Geography from the University of Plymouth and a
> Masters in Geographical Information Science from the University of
> Nottingham.
