Research set to music: The climate symphony and other sonifications of ice core, radar, DNA, seismic and solar wind data

Abstract

The Climate Symphony and Other Sonifications of Ice Core, Radar, DNA, Seismic and Solar Wind Data is a one-hour performance/presentation of sonification research by Marty Quinn of Design Rhythmics Sonification Research Lab and BAE Systems. It was presented in November 2000 at the National Science Foundation at the invitation of the Director's Office of Public Affairs and the Office of Polar Programs and was warmly received. This paper describes the Climate Symphony portion of the presentation in detail.
