Citizen Scientists wanted for a project on hydrological data in Italy: SIREN (Saving Italian hydRological mEasuremeNts)

Citizen Scientists wanted for a project on hydrological data in Italy: SIREN (Saving Italian hydRological mEasuremeNts)

The SIREN (Saving Italian hydRological mEasuremeNts) project aims to digitize the historical series of daily flows by crowd-sourcing the recovery of hydrological measurements from historical Hydrological Yearbooks and to produce a consistent dataset. With your help, we can save Italy’s hydrological measurements and keep up the data flow!  In Italy, hydro-meteorological data collection has been man ...[Read More]
