CSCW researcher Andreas Forø Tollefsen together with Research Professor Halvard Buhaug and Senior Researcher Håvard Strand have in response to this developed the PRIO-GRID, which is a spatiotemporal grid structure that will aid collection, combination, distribution and management of spatial data and time varying trends. PRIO-GRID consists of a grid of cells covering the complete globe and includes data on armed conflict, physical and climatic conditions, relative location, socio-economic status, ethnicity, land cover and more. This effort aids researchers in combining data from various sources, and introduces the ability to include their own data.
