... One of her major research projects looks at the ongoing economic as well as privacy, security, and other implications of American companies selling images photographed by privately owned satellites in outer space. Her other research projects are exploring the use of economic incentives to manage space debris; the allocation of scarce energy, water, utilities, and telecommunications resources on the ISS; the value of geostationary orbit; and the value of information, particularly information derived from space-based remote sensing.

... Storey produced mapping with georeferenced sites of dams and culverts connected to major rivers in several flooded North Dakota counties for the FEMA Regional Office in Denver, and in January 1997 she served as a co-GIS coordinator for flooding in Salem, Oregon, before being deployed to North Dakota in response to the Grand Forks flood of record to produce GIS for disaster management staff. Prior to joining FEMA, Ms.

... Wallendorf's research has made pioneering contributions to the study of consumption using ethnographic research methods. For over two decades, she has published extensively on the sociocultural meanings of consumption, including the role of possessions in socially constituting social classes and ethnic groups, the meanings of favorite possessions and of collections, the processes that define particular possessions as sacred or profane, and the impact of social ties on the diffusion of innovations.
