Björn Erlingsson is a physical oceanologist working with dynamical systems in the sea around Iceland. He will present ideas on sonification.

Many Earth Observation data fields have harmonics and rithmic behavior in space and time. Earth Dynamical Systems like atmosphere, ocean and sea ice systems behave in coupled manner exhibiting values of multiple variables across wide range of spatio temporal scales. In this discussion we address the question if set of state and dynamical variables, and their statistical parameters can be assigned sound attributes so that visualization of time evolving data fields of different spatio temporal components that generate set of sounds in a meaningful and consistent manner.
