Product Description The applications and uses of satellite remote sensing have burgeoned during the last decade and the associated legal aspects of satellite remote sensing have become increasingly important, however, the legal regime in this area is surprisingly inadequate. The research undertaken for this book provides, for the first time in one place, an examination of the existing regime and highlights shortcomings with regard to liability, data policy and data integrity before proposing improvements needed for the full beneficial exploitation of remotely sensed data, particularly in support of disaster management and the protection of the environment. About the Author Atsuyo Ito, LLM 2003 (Leiden), Ph.D. (2008) in Law, University of Paris XI, is research fellow at Social Science Research Institute, International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan. She has written numerous articles on space law issues, particularly on legal aspects of satellite remote sensing and disaster management.
