Crowdsourcing is an increasingly popular technique used to complete complex tasks or collect large amounts of data. This report documents the effort to employ crowdsourcing using the Mechanical Turk service hosted by Amazon. The task was to collect labeling data on several thousands of short videos clips as such labels would be perceived by a human. The approach proved to be viable, collecting large amounts of data in a relatively short time frame, but required specific considerations for the population of workers and impersonal medium through which data were collected. +
Lichens are sensitive to air pollution, specially the air's acidity. Therefore, the presence or absence can be used to see how clean the air is.
The goal of this application is to help to analyze, classify and measure the size of the lichens in order to study the quality of air in different areas of the cities. +
The API allows programmers to use the Amazon mechanical turk API. Three types of people interact with Amazon Mechanical Turk:
* Requesters, who creates and pays for the work done by Workers. They can create and advertise work using the Amazon Mechanical Turk command line interface or the Requester User Interface and thereby not need developers
* Workers, who find and accept work advertised by Requesters
* Developers, who create Amazon Mechanical Turk applications that Requesters and Workers use. +
The Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. Using PHAT data from the Hubble Space Telescope we're hunting for star clusters in Andromeda and hidden galaxies that lie behind. +

BOINC is a program that lets you donate your idle computer time to science projects like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, and many others. After installing BOINC on your computer, you can connect it to as many of these projects as you like. +
The BOINC server software (scheduler, data server, web pages) are installed on computers owned and managed by the projects to which you will donate time on your computer. +
Bat Detective is an Zooniverse citizen science project which asks the public to turn detective to find bat calls in audio recordings across the world +
Every plant tells a story. Whether you have an afternoon, a few weeks, a season, or a whole year, you can make an important contribution to better understand changing climates in your area. Our web site provides everything you need to get outside, make reports, and share what you find with others. Sign up and start making Project BudBurst observations today. We are looking forward to learning more about the stories your plants can tell.
Simply register, select a plant(s), make regular observations of your plants throughout the seasons and submit your data. By choosing this approach, you benefit from having permanent site records that can be compared from year to year.
If you are traveling, planning a hike, or can't make regular visits to a site, Single Reports may be the right approach for you. Register, select a plant, make a one-time observation of your plant, and submit your data. +

Crowdsourced analysis of cancerous tissue: using images from Cancer Research UK volunteers help to classify archived cancer samples. +
Citizen Sort is a website that contains tools and games to classify various species of insects, animals, and plants. +
Several Citizen Science projects are custom made, i.e. do not rely on software packages that does "most of the job". +
This is just a project description that can be used for testing .... At some point it will be removed.... +
Cornell Lab develops interactive online tools to engage hundreds of thousands of people in contributing bird observations and exploring the results. +

Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations. Einstein@Home uses volounteers computer's idle time to perform physical calculations. +
EpiCollect.net provides a web and mobile app for the generation of forms (questionnaires) and freely hosted project websites for data collection.
Data are collected (including GPS and media) using multiple phones and all data can be viewed centrally (using Google Maps / tables / charts). +
EpiCollect provides a mobile phone and web application for the generation of forms and freely hosted project websites (using Google's AppEngine) for many kinds of mobile data collection projects. Data can be collected using multiple mobile phones running either the Android Operating system or the iPhone (using the EpiCollect mobile app) and all data can be synchronised from the phones and viewed centrally via the Project website (hosted on AppEngine) or directly on the phones. +
EteRNA is a browser based game, developed by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University, that engages users to solve puzzles related to the folding of RNA molecules.The project is funded by the National Science Foundation.
Similar to Foldit—created by some of the same researchers that developed EteRNA—the puzzles take advantage of human problem-solving capabilities to solve puzzles that are computationally laborious for current computer models. +
The EveryAware platform has been explicitly designed to
support subjective impressions in conjunction with sensor
data acquisition by introducing a extendable data concept.
A central server efficiently collects, analyses and visualizes
data sent from the arbitrary sources. +
EveryAware intends to integrate theoretical and practical techniques from the disciplines of environmental sensing, computer science, statistical physics and social science to collect and analyse physical measurements from sensors and associated subjective opinions of participants. Real-time analysis results are then provided to you through this website. Different case studies integrate participatory sensing with the monitoring of subjective opinions. +
A mobile application plus a platform which enables local communities to use a smartphone to compile and share a report on forest activity around their habitat. +
