Measuring and Accounting for War Destruction Using Human-Reported and Satellite-Derived Conflict Data
Hospital functionality in the Gaza Strip
This study provides additional evidence that the Gaza Strip's hospital system was directly affected by the first year of the conflict, greatly impacting the ability to provide critical health services
Public health implications of satellite-detected widespread damage to Wash infrastructure in the Gaza Strip
The Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has resulted in widespread attacks across the territory, damaging water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. Recent public health assessments show an increased prevalence of waterborne diseases — including polio, Hepatitis A, and gastrointestinal conditions — linked to curtailed access to safe water, exposure to contaminated water, and non-functional WASH infrastru…
Out-migration, agricultural abandonment, and community forest management
Nowhere and no one is safe’
Spatial statistical analysis suggests widespread damage to critical civilian infrastructure that should have been provided protection under IHL. These findings raise serious allegations about the violation of IHL, especially in light of Israeli officials' statements explicitly inciting violence and displacement and multiple widely reported acts of collective punishment

The unintended consequences of production bans
Production bans are a common way for governments to address issues of social concern. However, when consumer demand for banned items is insensitive to price changes, cross-border trade may undermine these efforts. We examine the effects of Kenya’s 2018 moratorium on the extraction of wood products, including logs and charcoal, from public and community forests. The data show an immediate 36% increase in the domestic charcoal price in Kenya, where…
Overlapping land rights and deforestation in Uganda
The majority of the world’s land is held in customary tenure systems, often with overlapping claims. Designing effective policy to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation requires understanding land management choices within these systems. Using a nation-wide random sample of over 300,000 hectares of forested land in Uganda from 2000 to 2019, we examine how deforestation trends across a system of overlapping rights, known as mailo lan…
Community forest management led to rapid local forest gain in Nepal
Forest, agriculture, and migration
Nepal has experienced rapid transitions in forest and agricultural practices over the last several decades. This study compares surveys of forest cover, land use, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of six sites in Sindhu Kabhre and Palanchok Districts conducted in 1992 and 2017. We correlated these transformations with changes in forest cover as documented with remotely sensed images. We found that forest cover has increased tremendous…
Do Refugee Camps Offer a Refuge From Conflict? A Spatially Explicit Analysis of Conflict Incidence at 1,543 Refugee Camps Across Africa (1997–2020)
By the end of 2020, 20.7 million refugees worldwide were under the protection of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Despite the intended role of refugee camps as sanctuaries for people fleeing conflict and persecution, recent empirical research has shown that many refugees continue to experience conflict even after settling in camps. Measuring refugee exposure to conflict, especially recurrent conflict, is important for th…
Development after Displacement
In 2015, 193 countries declared their commitment to “leave no one behind” in pursuit of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the world’s refugees have been routinely excluded from national censuses and representative surveys, and, as a result, have broadly been overlooked in SDG evaluations. In this study, we examine the potential of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data for monitoring SDG progress in refugee settlements. We collected all availab…
No peace for the forest
Scales and sensitivities in climate vulnerability, displacement, and health
Breaking ground
Vegetation changes attributable to refugees in Africa coincide with agricultural deforestation
The recent adoption of the Global Compact on Refugees formally recognizes not only the importance of supporting the nearly 26 million people who have sought asylum from conflict and persecution but also of easing the pressures on receiving areas and host countries. However, few countries may enforce the Compact out of concern over the economic or environmental repercussions of hosting refugees. We examine whether narratives of refugee-driven land…
The end of gunpoint conservation
In November 2016, after 52 years of armed conflict, the Colombian government and the primary rebel group, the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) reached a peace agreement. The agreement incorporated three changes to institutions governing forest land occupation and use: (a) the demobilization of FARC from forested places, (2) the future distribution of legal land titles and new road construction into forests, and (3) the eradicati…
Knowledge coproduction improves understanding of environmental change in the Ethiopian highlands

Understanding the Challenges and Rewards of Social-Ecological Research in China
Interest in collaborative research on Chinese social and ecological systems has grown dramatically in recent decades. While international researchers are giving increased attention to China, foreign scholars, especially those new to China, are often unsure of the best way to find collaborators, garner sponsorship, and pursue research goals. Understanding research incentives for Chinese scientists, the culture of relationships, research topic sens…
The 21st Century Campus Map
We present two interactive, online maps of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus: The University of Wisconsin-Madison Interactive Campus Map (http://map.wisc.edu) and the Lakeshore Nature Preserve Interactive Map (http://www.lakeshorepreserve.wisc.edu). Although these two projects represent the same university campus, the former follows a wayfinding-based model of campus mapping while the latter follows an atlas-based model of campus mapping…
