Professor Robert Bea and his work on Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure Networks (RESIN), at the University of California, Berkeley's Center for Catastrophic Risk Management, was recently featured on UCTV's State of Minds program.

RESIN is a 4-year, $4 million project launched in 2008 by the National Science Foundation. Its aim is to create, validate and apply new Risk Assessment and Management (RAM) based approaches in an effort to enhance the engineering and policy evaluations of resilience and sustainability in interdependent, interconnected, interactive critical infrastructure systems (I3CIS) like California's Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region.
