As a final step in the global warming mapping, I analyzed the overlap of the three conditions: the carbon dioxide emissions, the change in air temperature, and the sea level rise. The series of images below illustrates the new animation frames.

The animation begins with the level of emissions by country.Slowly the data on the change in temperature appears.

The air temperature data rises to stack on top of the emission data revealing the areas experiencing both conditions.

The extruded changing sea level plates have been inserted into the datascape.

The final two images show the result of taking the difference of the sea level plates and the causes datascape. The areas that are left are in the greatest dangers of being lost due to the causes. These areas are adding to their own destruction and in turn killing themselves.

Based on the final mappings, these areas significantly contribute to global warming and are experiencing its effects. How would the conditions in these areas contribute to their design? How can these areas be maintained?

information layers

I am in the process of clarifying information from the last review. By using the air temperature change mesh, I have created a stratified model of the causes and will use the animation tool to stack the two on top of one another to exaggerate the effect of the causes. I am also using the difference tool to take this current model and pull away the land that will be lost in a 100m sea level rise.

mid project update

This series of images above is starting to deal with issues of clarity between the layers of information. It will be important to incorporate varying opacities in the final animation. I am very pleased with the potential for still images and plan to resolve the clarity issues by the use of time in the animation. One layer will be highlighted at a time while showing the connections between the three.

emissions + air temp + sea rise

emission + air temp

These images show the emissions extrusion combined with the change in air temperature extrusion. While the goal is to get the two to merge between one another, technically that is proving to be extremely difficult.
