... Her other research projects involve exploring the use of economic incentives to manage space debris; the allocation of scarce energy, water, utilities, and telecommunications resources on the International Space Station; the value of geostationary orbit; and the value of information, particularly information derived from spacebased remote sensing. She was a member of the Space Studies Board's Task Group on Setting Priorities for Space Research and the NRC Committee on the Impact of Selling the Federal Helium Reserve.
