Ph.D. Research Summary

The question of institutional capacity building for Earth observations (EO) technology is a substantive one requiring a dedicated analysis of the issues and possibilities. This research is designed to undertake this analysis and to present a mechanism for improved institutional capacity building in the context of global EO institutional environment, GEOSS and the International Charter 'Space and Major Disasters'.
