Short summary
As the amount of data collected by satellites and generated by climate models to monitor Earth's climate and environment continues to expand in size and complexity, it becomes increasingly difficult for non-experts to explore these type of data sets. We present an interactive physical exhibit in the shape of a cube that enables anyone to explore these large environmental data sets across space, time, and variables, independent of their technical knowledge, through direct physical interaction.
