Citizen science is a valuable tool for climate science, and many other disciplines.

Currently, volunteers are transcribing detailed weather observations that were written in ship logs on voyages around the world in the 1860s, and turning the hand-written measurements into digital data.

This data will help us better reconstruct past changes in climate. #WeatherRescue

And, anyone can help!

Ed Hawkins (on the bird site), famous for inventing the climate stripes:
"Today we relaunch #WeatherRescue!

Millions of pages of ship logbooks are full of detailed weather observations which have never been digitised.

Transcribing this data will improve our knowledge of how the climate has changed. Do you have some time to help?"
