Research

The most up to date list of my publications is in my CV and online here. Open access versions of  my publications are here. Working papers can be found on Academia and Open Science Foundation. 

The overarching goal of my research is to enable marginalized people to pursue their future with dignity. I conduct research on environmental governance in agricultural landscapes and on the application of GIScience to human rights issues. I have over twenty years of experience leading research and development projects on land rights, agroforestry, and environmental conflicts in Africa and Southeast Asia. The current focus of my research is to develop applied GIScience contributions to searches for mass graves and to document evidence of human rights violations in collaboration with forensic scientists, human rights organizations, and refugee communities. 

To this end, my objectives are summarized in four themes:

  1. The use of spatial, environmental data (e.g., soils, landuse, and road types), historical records, witness testimonies, and other primary sources to develop scientifically valid models of the spatial patterns of killer behaviour in order to find mass graves and evidence of crimes against humanity and war crimes. 
  2. Improving the evidentiary quality of spatial data and other information collected in Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigations for submission as evidence in courts for prosecution of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
  3. Developing workflow protocols and open-source technology stacks that refugee communities and human rights documenters can use to more easily and securely triangulate data about human rights violations. 
  4. Investigating ways in which refugees can make claims to property in situations of mass displacement and normative pluralism.
