An outreach project that aims to show changes in sea ice over time using a visualisation based on the earth project (http://earth.nullschool.net)
We aimed to produce a visualisation of polar sea ice that demonstrates the changes in time. It should be an interactive web-based tool that gives users a tactile approach to exploring the data.
See the presentation file for further details and d3globe for proof-of-concept. The ipython notebooks contain code used to take data from stereographic polar satellite samples (http://nsidc.org/data/G02172) and project sea ice extent contours onto a lat-long geodesic.
