In this module, we explore data in the Earth Sciences using interactive Python libraries. This includes visualization and sonification of data relating to earthquakes, plate tectonics, and seismic waves.
Humans have evolved excellent pattern recognition skills using both our eyes and ears, often performing better than computers. We explore how data (seismic, weather, oceanographic) can be sonified and visualized in order to better identify patterns, …
Earthquakes produce seismic waves that are recorded by seismometers. I work with the Seismic Sound Lab at Columbia University to turn these seismic data into sound!
The earth sciences are particularly visual, and often figures produced are quite literally 'works of art'. Research as Art aims to showcase this scientific art from researchers across the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory community.
