“Ice Core” brings together the aesthetics of layers of ice with the immense amount of weather information core samples contain. It features eight acrylic tubes filled with layered gel wax, with each layer denoting the average data contained within a thousand-year sample. The grayscale tubes indicate the different carbon dioxide levels in the ice core layers. The darker the layer of wax, the more carbon dioxide that was produced during a particular thousand years. The colored tubes demonstrate temperature variation by using the colors associated with a standard weather map. For example, red denotes the highest temperature and blue indicates the lowest temperature. These tubes, shown side by side, provide an insightful comparison between carbon dioxide levels in relationship to global temperature changes during the last four hundred thousand years.
