Sonification of the atmospheric carbon record over the Holocene epoch ...
This piece is part of a collection of sound compositions called Timescales, which sonifies datasets spanning different time scales of the atmospheric carbon record. The Holocene is a geologic epoch which began approximately 11,700 years ago as the last glaciation ended. At the onset of the Holocene,...
