LISTEN: 1,200 Years of Earth’s Climate, Transformed into Sound



Science podcast featuring work by our fearless leader, Chris Chafe:

"When you sonify data, you experience time in a way you can’t when you look at a chart." Hal Gordon, Graduate student

From the article: "Climate change is difficult to talk about. The subject is complex. Denial is rampant. The scale of the problem is hard to grasp. And, while it is arguably the most important story of our time, it has a way of wearing people down. Rather than exhausting the topic, the topic exhausts us. We know this. So, we’d like to offer a new way to understand the speed at which our planet has changed over the past few hundred years. This project was brought to us by three UC Berkeley graduate students and a sonification artist.

Chris Chafe, director of Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics composed the piece of music based on data compiled by Hal Gordon, Kate Pennington and Valeri Vasquez at Berkeley.
