Pretty awesome example of #CitizenScience!!

Five years ago today, most historical UK monthly rainfall observations were not available to scientists.

But the 66,000 pieces of paper containing the data had been scanned.

With covid lockdown approaching we saw an opportunity to transcribe the data.

I really enjoyed taking part in the University of Malaya's #Trashblitz whilst here in #Malaysia! A huge haul of #PlasticPollution was removed from the beach and important #CitizenScience data collected by the student team! 🧪🦑🌍

Bottles away!! The first of our RASP-SEA river releases of #GPS tagged #PlasticBottles have been released! These bottles will help us understand plastic transport from major rivers in Malaysia!
