We've finally run out of data, and together you've rescued 50 years of tide gauge data in just over one year. Thanks for all your help!
Results
Huge congratulations and thanks to all our volunteers, we have finished the sea-level transcription, in one year and 6 days. We'll post some more updates as we progress with amalgamating your work, the quality control and data processing, and of course when we start using the data in earnest. If you want to keep up with the project and see the science that comes out of it, make sure you're signed up for email updates - we promise we won't send you spam, we can't actually see your email address as it goes via the zooniverse system.
