Legal Challenges and Market Rewards to the Use and Acceptance of Remote Sensing and Digital Information as Evidence
Year: 2002
Type: article
Abstract: We need to see the future more clearly if we are to stay within ecosystem limits.Our new ability to uncover facts brings with it new opportunities and challenges for evidence, particularly in the area of environmental compliance.Satellites and other remote sensing technologies are revolutionizing our ability to visualize and simulate the potential consequences of our environmental and resource management decisions.These advances are enabling scientists, governments and industry to peer into the remotest corners of the globe, with a perception far beyond human senses.Our challenge is to determine the most efficient way to establish technologies and processes that will enable us to better manage critical ecosystems through the integration of digital earth system science, including remote sensing data, into legal systems at all levels of resource management.
