Christiaan Triebert (1991) is a conflict researcher with Bellingcat, a multi-award winning international collective that uses online open source information like satellite imagery to investigative armed conflicts and corruption.
Among a wide variety of topics, Triebert has especially focused on investigating airstrikes in the Middle East, also in his capacity as geolocation expert for monitoring organisation Airwars. His minute-by-minute digital reconstruction of the Turkish coup attempt won the Innovation Award of the European Press Prize. Triebert aims to spread Bellingcat’s techniques and tools by giving worldwide digital forensic trainings, including in Iraq, Colombia, and Ukraine.
Triebert holds a Master’s degree in Conflict, Security & Development from King’s College London, during which he researched the promise and peril of open source evidence, and two undergraduate degrees (International Relations, Political Philosophy) from the University of Groningen.
