Designing effective interfaces for motivating engagement in crowdsourced image labeling

An effective online platform for crowd classification of coastal wetland loss

“…To address these issues, Healthy Gulf, a regional environmental organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of the Gulf Coast's natural resources, partnered with Northeastern University's Cartoscope to develop LLL.
