North West Labour History Journal: "The Economics of Everyday Life" A Mass-Observation Project in Bolton by Liz Stanley Thirdly, the project, again as with Mass-Observation more generally, took observation very seriously, indeed made it the basis of its approach. Secondly, there is the way in which the researchers' observation of public behaviour is central, and the direct questioning of people as to their private behaviour and opinions is analytically secondary to this. That is, in mainstream research (both then and now) people's reports of their behaviours were used as the cornerstone of research, whereas the economics of everyday life researchers used observation of people's behaviours as their cornerstone and tied people's reports about their behaviour to this. www.wcml.org.uk /nwlhg/massobs1.html   (2587 words)

Sea levels: Mass observation At issue is the fact that direct observations (tide gauge records) put the twentieth-century rate of increase at between 1.5 and 2 mm per year, yet a combination of estimates of the volume increase due to ocean warming and mass increase due to ice melting falls short of that figure. Measurements of salinity and temperature close to the tide gauges suggest that mass, not volume, has been dominant in driving sea level rise.

Roger Clarke's 'Technologies of Mass Observation' The 'Mass Observation Movement' Forum aims to "explore surveillance technology, its impact on broader community, uses in cyber technology and how artists are interpreting these major changes in personal privacy and the monitoring of society".
