Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!

With your help, we have finished assessing the current data from the Bahamas! If you’d like to be notified when we re-activate and to hear about further results of the project, the best way is to submit one classification while logged in (to join the project list) and make sure your email notifications for this project are turned on. Thank you.

Update: we are now active mapping road-riverbed crossings in Sudan! Visit https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/alicemead/sudan-road-access-logistics-cluster to get started. Thank you!

The Team

Rescue Global

From the Rescue Global website:

The Rescue Global mission is to save life. Empowering and enabling the world’s most vulnerable nations, contributing to truly global, multi-sector resilience, Rescue Global impacts the entire life cycle of critical events and related issues world-wide, from slavery to super-storms, seeking to work ourselves out of a job.

Rescue Global is working with the Zooniverse and the Machine Learning team at the University of Oxford to bring you this project. We have worked together before, to assess satellite imagery following the Nepal earthquakes in 2015, the Ecuador earthquake in 2016, and the Caribbean hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. All projects were successful in identifying affected areas and informing Rescue Global's rescue and recovery efforts on the ground.


24 Commando Royal Engineers

24 Commando Royal Engineers (24Cdo) provide the military engineering support to 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines. Held at Very High Readiness to deploy worldwide, highly trained commando engineers using modern technology enable the Royal Marines to understand, live, move and fight.

24Cdo are partners of Rescue Global, working together with Zooniverse and the Machine Learning team at the University of Oxford and Lancaster University to make immediate best use of the current project, as well as develop it further for the future.

The Zooniverse Team

The Zooniverse is a team of researchers and developers based at the University of Oxford, Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Lancaster University, University of Minnesota, and the University of Portsmouth. You can learn more about them at www.zooniverse.org/about/team.


Machine Learning Research Group

The Oxford Machine Learning Research Group is a sub-group of the Robotics Research Group in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. They are one of the core groups in the Oxford Machine Learning community. They have long had collaborations with the Zooniverse and Oxford Astrophysics: some of the software originally developed within the MLRG and now being used to make maps of damage across disaster-affected areas was initially tested within astrophysical applications.
