Mark Moritz

Mark Moritz studies pastoralism, the mobile livestock-keeping systems practiced by herding communities, with a focus on rangeland management, human-animal-environment relationships, and the social and demographic dynamics of pastoral households and herds. His work often combines anthropological methods (ethnography, mixed methods) with agent-based computational modeling to understand how pastoral systems adapt to environmental change and policy pressures, drawing heavily on long-term research in Cameroon and other African contexts. He also contributes to broader conversations on research methods training in anthropology and on climate adaptation and conservation policy.

Publication output has declined from roughly 8-10 papers per year in 2017-2019 to a lower, more variable pace of about 2-5 per year in recent years, averaging 4.2 publications annually over the last five years.
