iCoast is a PHP/HTML/JS/CSS/MySQL based web application designed to harness the power of "crowdsourcing" to compare coastal imagery from both before and after extreme weather events. Questions are asked about visible changes and answers are recorded using admin configurable tags. The data is then used to help ground truth and improve existing predictive change models.
iCoast is live and can be found at: https://coastal.er.usgs.gov/icoast/
