Personal profile
Research
Landscape around us is a repository of past human behavior from social organisation and subsistence to ideology and imaginaires. I investigate these footprints in their environmental context via a combination of pedestrian survey and cross-disciplinary field data capture, followed by computer-assisted data streamlining, aggregation and spatial analysis. Thematically I focus on the rise and decline of social complexity in the Ancient Mediterranean and Cold-War civil-defense in Denmark.
Teaching
I am an advocate of reproducible workflows and deep digital practice, and as a member of the Carpentries, I teach and promote the mainstreaming of digital literacy.
