My PhD aims to explore the ways in which flood risk management can be enhanced by the public’s participation in: i) micro-tasking for satellite imagery analysis and ii) the sharing of local flood observations. The research focuses on: i) public motivations, enablers and barriers for participating in crowdsourcing projects, ii) the added value of citizen contributions for modelling, governance and improving our understanding of risks.
