Current research

Research under the Changing Disasters project at the Copenhagen Center for Disaster Research (COPE) and the University of Copenhagen Faculty of Law. The PhD examines legal and policy implications for the use of satellite remote sensing for disasters management. Through select cases, the research maps progressive transformations (and implementations) of laws, policies and practices, with an overall objective of contributing to future regulatory frameworks for space-based disaster response and risk reduction.
