Jasper Baur

My name is Jasper Baur and I am PhD Candidate at Columbia University in explosive hazard mitigation with applications in physical volcanology and landmine detection. I am an earth scientist by trade, and I love all aspects of the natural world including studying, hiking, traveling, climbing, and exploring all of the breathtaking sights to be seen. I am passionate about protecting the environment and researching ways to detect landmines to combat the atrocities caused by them and UXO. To address this international crisis, I founded the Demining Research Community,  whose mission is to research, develop, and field test cutting edge sensors and platforms to improve current demining technologies and apply these findings to aid conflict and post-conflict nations.
