A Song of Our Warming Planet השיר של עולמנו המתחמם

כיצד נשמע שינויי האקלים?
קטע מוזיקלי שהופך הטמרטורה לצלילים. נגן ומעבד לצ'לו דניאל קרפורד. Daniel Crawford


הטקסט המלווה את הסירטון


When faced with the challenge of sharing the latest climate change discoveries, scientists often rely on data graphics and technical illustrations. University of Minnesota undergrad Daniel Crawford came up with a completely different approach. He’s using his cello to communicate the latest climate science through music.
Thermometer measurements show the average global temperature has risen about 1.4 °F (0.8 °C) since 1880. Typically, this warming is illustrated visually with line plots or maps showing year-by-year changes in annual temperatures. As an alternative, Crawford used an approach called data sonification to convert global temperature records into a series of musical notes.
