I love the title "Echology". echo/ecology=data and even feedback loop
It sounds fascinating and very timely. I have studied meteorology and
climatology since I was a little kid and Australia in the last year has
had some wild events. Yassi comes to mind first, but also the unusual
inland flooding both in the east and in the west central dry regions that
had a temporary lake. The effects of La Nina and arguably climate change
have been immense and wide ranging to the extreme there. As I write we are
expecting a storm in a few days to bring up to 2 inches of rain in parts
of northern california which is unheard of in June (some all time records
are .89 inches down to near a trace).
I would love to know what you and other yasminers think of data and how it
is timely in relation to larger issues and concerns. I think right away
of archiving and older platforms and hardware as well as the work being
down by the Buckminster Fuller Insitute and the recent challenge winners
among a wide array of ecological and semiotic concerns around data and
measure.
best,
Jeremy
