TIGHAR again. (When there's Earhart news, it's always TIGHAR.)
The problem with TIGHAR's work is (and this paper seems like no exception to me, though I am not an expert in related fields) that it inevitably starts with the conclusion that Earhart crash-landed on Nikumaroro / Gardner Island, and then provides evidence that _could_ be seen to support that pre-determined conclusion. It's backwards from the get-go.
Skeptoid provides a pretty good debunking of TIGHAR's core premise:
