The Geological Society of America (GSA) is inviting the public to measure gravestones to gain data on air pollution and climate change since the Industrial Revolution. Because white marble gravestones are highly susceptible to erosion, and bear dates, the stones can help scientists infer a region's climate and pollution history.
