Biography
Matthew Blackett completed his PhD at King’s College, London, where he utilised his computing and geographic skills in the remote sensing of earthquakes and volcanoes. Following this, he completed a post-doctoral position, also at King’s College, where he ran a project comparing urban energy balance models. During his time at King’s College, Matthew was a tutor and lecturer both there and at the London School of Economics. Matthew started a lectureship at Coventry University in 2010 and since joining, has maintained his research interests and, given a research fellowship, was a visiting researcher at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, in 2012.
Mission Statement:
Natural hazards and environmental change kill many people annually. I set out to examine how we can monitor and model hazardous events remotely – without putting researchers at risk but at the same time providing data useful for hazard and environmental change management.
Research Interests
Natural hazards; Natural disasters; Environmental change management
Fingerprint Fingerprint is based on mining the text of the person's scientific documents to create an index of weighted terms, which defines the key subjects of each individual researcher.
