 Hi, I'm Dr. Matt Beatty. You may see me listed as Robert in some of the program information, but I go by my middle name, which is Matt. I'm passionate about using geospatial data and techniques to understand the impacts of crises and natural disasters on people and their communities. This includes understanding what makes places vulnerable, but it also includes what makes places resilient, that is, their ability to cope with and bounce back from extreme events. And we could be talking about fires, floods, civil unrest, and even pandemics. Taking a spatial view also allows us to identify opportunities for improving resilience, and this could happen on multiple fronts, from social, economic, or environmental resilience. But ultimately it's about reducing the risks of negative outcomes. These are themes I pursue in my teaching, and I like to emphasize to the students and my colleagues that geospatial analysis can help you both understand complex problems, but also it can help you identify solutions. And place is often the common denominator when integrating across a wide range of topics. On a more personal note, I live and work in beautiful Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne is often at the top or near the top of lists of cities that are the most livable in the world. And I tend to agree. Melbourne's great. Well, I hope to see you in class in the near future. Thank you.
