Dr. James O’Driscoll focuses on the application of remote sensing and GIS-based techniques in archaeology, with particular emphasis on prehistoric enclosures and Bronze Age hillforts, their contemporary landscapes, and socio-economic contexts. While he has a number of thematic and period-specific research interests within archaeology, all of his studies are interdisciplinary in nature and fall within the scope of the Digital Humanities, being strongly supported by emerging digital technologies applicable across various disciplines. These digital practices include satellite-based remote sensing for archaeology, large-scale terrestrial geophysics, drone-based survey, three-dimensional landscape modelling using LiDAR and photogrammetry, artefact laser scanning and 3D printing, as well as analytical GIS and spatial analysis.
Dr. O’Driscoll has contributed to several high-impact projects, including The Atlas of British and Irish Hillforts, Hillforts, Warfare and Society in Bronze Age Ireland, and the Comparative Kingship project. Since earning his PhD from University College Cork in 2016, he has published a book-length monograph and over 25 peer-reviewed papers.
