When SkyTruth set out to map hydraulic fracturing—the technique for drilling oil and gas better known as fracking—it tapped a cadre of dedicated online volunteers to review thousands of aerial photographs.
The West Virginia nonprofit, which uses remote imagery to study environmental issues, made its name during the 2010 Deep Horizon oil spill when it offered the first challenge to BP’s estimate of how much oil was gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.
For its FrackFinder project, SkyTruth is recruiting volunteers to look at high-resolution remote photographs of sites that have obtained permits for oil and gas drilling. Volunteers mark whether they see drilling pads in the photographs.
