Analysing Slavery through Satellite Technology: How Remote Sensing Could Revolutionise Data Collection to Help End Modern Slavery (2019)
Journal Article
Jackson, B., Bales, K., Owen, S., Wardlaw, J., & Boyd, D. S. (2019). Analysing Slavery through Satellite Technology: How Remote Sensing Could Revolutionise Data Collection to Help End Modern Slavery. Journal of Modern Slavery, 4(2), 169-199

An estimated 40.3 million people are enslaved globally across a range of industries. Whilst these industries are known, their scale can hinder the fight against slavery. Some industries using slave labour are visible in satellite imagery, including m...
