Sergio Alvarez Leiva is the founder of Vizzuality, an exciting enterprise which is leading the data visualizaton of the world. In this speech, he demos one of his most recent works: a sofware that allows to discover the climate of 100 years ago. And how he does this? Facilitating the digitalization of  hundred of thousand of logbooks, one century old, and having the crowd to read them and extract the key information. Crowdsourcing at its best and beautiful.  In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
