Guest Speaker
Geoff Carr
The guest speaker for the evening will be Geoff Carr. He will present a humorous insight into The spatial science world: The good, the bad and what we can do about it.
About Geoff:
Geoff spent his first couple of decades in the workforce jumping in and out of jobs such as driving taxis, working in factories, on mine sites and any other job which took his fancy. This allowed him the flexibility to pursue personal interests such as travelling the world and indulging in a blissfully hedonist lifestyle.
Finally Geoff made the terrible discovery that he wasn’t going to remain eternally youthful and decided to embark on the search for a “respectable” job. He reluctantly turned from the School of Life and enrolled in science degree at Charles Darwin University. During the first year of his degree he became totally captivated with the spatial sciences and has been ever since. He now works as the GIS Manager at the Northern Land Council.
His current job in GIS is extremely flexible and allows Geoff tp maintains time for his other passions such as Astronomy, Politics, History (particularly the American Civil War), Science, Public Speaking and Life in General…and a million other interests yet embarked on. He is a regular contributor to local media such as the NT News science pages and is often asked to provide commentary on ABC radio.
