Abstract
Phenology is the study of periodic biological processes, such as
when plants flower and birds arrive in the spring. In this paper we
sonify phenology data and control the sonification process through
a tangible interface consisting of a physical paper map and tracking
of fiducial markers. The designed interface enables one or more
users to concurrently specify point and range queries in both time
and space and receive immediate sonic feedback. This system can
be used to study and explore the effects of climate change, both as
tool to be used by scientists, and as a way to educate members of
the general public.
