Computing for a blank globe
by Grace Shephard, Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED), University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
A tribute to the computational geosciences. A mix of computer infrastructure, a modern workstation, and a simple globe with coastlines. Found this scene at the back of room at Miraikan - the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan. The computers, screens, and globe are behind a plexi-glass and while not intended as part of an exhibition it almost becomes an art-meets-science installation unto itself. It may have been the control station for the suspended globe (see my other EGULog photos in series).
