Editor's Notes

- I work at vizzuality\n
- We are part of the CSA\n
- More recently, NEEMO, an interesting project designed for both experts and community experts.\n
- What is Crowd Sourcing and Citizen Science? For those of you who missed the previous talk\n
- At Vizzuality, we’ve been interested in crowd-sourcing for a while\nPlanetHunters, a project where you can help scientist to discover new planets outside the solar system. With over 2 million classifications already done there already more than 60 candidates!\n

- A log book is like a diary where the sailors wrote what was going on every day. Their position, the weather, etc. Only in England there is probably more than 250.000 log books providing an incredible source of new data. \nBut interpreting those logs books is a hard task.\n
- And this is how it works. You get to a page of a log book of a ship and start transcribing. First the date, the location... it could be a port or coordinates.\n
- Then there is the actual weather records, temperature, wind, etc. You can basically move the window around capturing multiple of those. And finally you can capture any other notes they might wrote on the sides.\n
- But how we convince people to help us? Well, first of all because you can promote to a captain! The more log book you digitized from a ship the more chances. And people love that! I also believe there is a lot of people helping here because this stuff matters.\n
- Project that started last November, 91% of all log books scanned\n~700,000 log pages\n1 million weather observations\n10,000 amateur historical climatologists\n
- But all this is done for a reason. We want to recreate the weather on the oceans long time ago so that we can understand our current and future climates. And for most areas this is the only source of information we are gonna have.\n
