Who is Abrisham?
Abrisham loves the autonomy of learning, collaborating and travelling within new environments online and offline. He uses each day to research further into the focus on green and public spaces for air quality, water quality and improved mental health. He believes we need further the justice of people’s right to a healthy environment to deliver these green and public spaces. The practice of research he engages with is based on open science principles. The aim for Abrisham is to define complex risk and injustice within communities to support nature-based projects which prevent violence and harassment crime, improve local mental health and reduce toxic contaminants.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science from Southern Cross University, Lismore, Australia he is now completing the second year in the ECT+ Erasmus Mundus Master’s program in ecotoxicology. While studying he is also fortunate to continue work as a senior product assessor and researcher at Global GreenTag International with three years experience helping clients become verified for green buildings.
MSASpaces
A long-term open science project which started from Purpose Forest, branched into MSASpaces. In a nutshell it is about designing urban ecosystems and affordable housing together to improve public mental health. MSASpace research focuses on establishing a high-quality socio-ecological monitoring network to generate data. The project then aims to interpret this information through the science of rhythms to support decision makers navigate their response to the complex risk of climate change within their local communities. Providing them with the inspiration and evidence to design resilient urban ecosystems and affordable housing solutions.
One critical metric of the project is public spaces and green spaces safety for prevention of violence and harassment crimes. The project’s research intends to deliver improvements in human society to reach Target 11.7 of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
Surviving Violence
In 2018 Abrisham was attacked when walking at night. He was shot in the head at point blank range and survived. This event motivates Abrisham’s research into science-based solutions for sustainable public space development.
Better Green Spaces and Public Spaces
In 2025 Abrisham travelled to Morocco. He was travelling between small villages and needed a place to sleep for the night. That place was the ramp of a bridge constructed near the town of Akka. Maintaining such places safe from violence and harassment crime could depend on us keeping them clean from toxic contaminants.
The Little Wood Duck
Our Little Wood Duck sets out on adventure. In the first chapter he begins to question his purpose in life. In a galaxy so huge “Why am I alive” ?
