Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO My PhD used Landsat time series data to map the Lower Balonne Floodplain in SE Qld. I linked the distribution of inundation with the growth dynamics of vegetation communities, and predicted outcomes from changes in landscape composition on the dynamics of the ecosystem as a whole. My work at CSIRO has focussed on the use of airborne, hi-res, hyperspectral and SAR satellite imagery to map features including the distribution and severity of diseases in plantation forests, forest fertiliser requirements and flood modelling for the MDBA. Recently I led a project to write methods for UN Sustainable Development Goal 15.3.1 (the proportion of land that is degraded over total land area) on behalf of the UNCCD. These methods are provided as guidance to all countries reporting on this SDG. I co-Chair the GEO Land Degradation Neutrality Initiative, which uses the methods from SDG 15.3.1 to measure degradation. More recently my work has focused on identifying and supporting the Earth observation needs of developing countries including Vietnam and the Pacific islands.

Anthropologist and Curator of Living Cultures at Manchester Museum, University of Manchester Dr. Njabulo Chipangura is an anthropologist and Curator of Living Cultures at Manchester Museum which is part of the University of Manchester. Njabu has interest in empirical ways by which the museum practice can be decolonised through epistemic and aesthetic disobedience benchmarked by undoing earlier ways of knowledge production particularly looking at African collections and their representations. Njabu has published several research papers that looks at ongoing debates around the coloniality of museums and associated knowledge production and representation practices, to imagine a decolonised museum in Africa. His first co-written book entitled Museums as Agents for Social Change: Collaborative Programmes at the Mutare Museum was published by Routledge in April 2021. Njabu sits on the editorial board of Museum International a widely read journal on museum practices and theory which is published Routledge in collaboration with the International Council of Museums (ICOM). He is also a managing editor on Museum and Society published by University of Leicester Open Journals. Njabu is currently working on a co-edited volume entitled The Museologies of Africa: Rethinking African Museums, Community Inclusion, Living Cultures and Decolonisation which will be published by Routledge in 2025.

Associate Professor of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles I study the relationship between criminal legal contact and inequality across various domains, including crime, health, families, employment, welfare, and voting. Across these areas, I use diverse methodological approaches for data collection and analysis. I am particularly interested in understanding how mobile phones can be used as social science tools and how technology can facilitate data access, replication, and transparency. Alongside my research, one of my primary projects is helping to create PrisonPandemic, a digital archive of personal stories contributed by people incarcerated in California prisons, jails, and immigration detention facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
