Researcher Documents Climate Change Effects By Transcribing Ambient Sounds of Glaciers
Artists and researchers alike are learning that climate change can not only be seen, but also heard. Enter Ugo Nanni, a researcher from the University of Oslo with an affinity for transcribing natural phenomena into sound. Using a seismometer, Nanni sought to better understand the melting patterns of the Kongsvegen glacier in Svalbard, a landmark roughly 800 miles north of Norway. When ice melts and ultimately breaks, it creates vibrations which may be detected by a seismometer. As one might imagine, these particular frequencies are normally inaudible, registering between 1-100 HZ, but Nanni leveraged some post-processing magic so we could hear the glaciers for ourselves. Ugo Nanni, a researcher from the University of Oslo, used a seismometer to record and process the ambien...
