Earth observation and machine learning to meet Sustainable Development Goal 8.7: mapping sites associated with slavery from space (2019)
Journal Article
Foody, G., Ling, F., Boyd, D., Li, X., & Wardlaw, J. (2019). Earth observation and machine learning to meet Sustainable Development Goal 8.7: mapping sites associated with slavery from space. Remote Sensing, 11(3), Article 266. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs11030266

A large proportion of the workforce in the brick kilns of the Brick Belt of Asia are modern-day slaves. Work to liberate slaves and contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal 8.7 would benefit from maps showing the location of brick kilns. Previou...

A sociotechnical system approach to virtual citizen science: an application of BS ISO 27500:2016 (2019)
Journal Article
Houghton, R., Sprinks, J., Wardlaw, J., Bamford, S., & Marsh, S. (2019). A sociotechnical system approach to virtual citizen science: an application of BS ISO 27500:2016. JCOM: Journal of Science Communication, 18(01), https://doi.org/10.22323/2.18010201

We discuss the potential application to virtual citizen science of a recent standard (BS ISO 27500:2016 “The human-centred organisation”) which encourages the adoption of a sociotechnical systems perspective across a wide range of businesses, organiz...

Slavery from Space: Demonstrating the role for satellite remote sensing to inform evidence-based action related to UN SDG number 8 (2018)
Journal Article
Boyd, D. S., Jackson, B., Wardlaw, J., Foody, G. M., Marsh, S., & Bales, K. (2018). Slavery from Space: Demonstrating the role for satellite remote sensing to inform evidence-based action related to UN SDG number 8. ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 142, 380-388. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2018.02.012

The most recent Global Slavery Index estimates that there are 40.3 million people enslaved globally. The UN’s Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development Goal number 8, section 8.7 specifically refers to the issue of forced labour: ending modern slavery...

Comparing experts and novices in Martian surface feature change detection and identification (2017)
Journal Article
Wardlaw, J., Sprinks, J., Houghton, R., Muller, J., Sidiropoulos, P., Bamford, S., & Marsh, S. (in press). Comparing experts and novices in Martian surface feature change detection and identification. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2017.05.014

Change detection in satellite images is a key concern of the Earth Observation field for environmental and climate change monitoring. Satellite images also provide important clues to both the past and present surface conditions of other planets, whic...

Task Workflow Design and its impact on performance and volunteers' subjective preference in Virtual Citizen Science (2017)
Journal Article
Sprinks, J., Wardlaw, J., Houghton, R., Bamford, S., & Morley, J. (2017). Task Workflow Design and its impact on performance and volunteers' subjective preference in Virtual Citizen Science. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 104, 50-63. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhcs.2017.03.003

© 2017 The Authors Virtual citizen science platforms allow non-scientists to take part in scientific research across a range of disciplines. What they ask of volunteers varies considerably in terms of task type, variety, user judgement required and u...
