The Earth Biological Clock
a work in progress involving global warming, underwater ballet, and local action

realtime global climatology | a new creature | interaction | public art concept
Dr. Gouldstein's collection of new species

As the result of climate change, a new creature has evolved.  This creature thrives in the climate conditions of a warming planet, and its coloration reflects the state of the climate. The creature itself is a climate indicator, since its tone is a visual indicator of real-time ecological data.  Discovery of the evolved creature is outstanding, since the specimen is resistant to climate change, thrives on pollutants, and is destined to outlive humanity. As planetary environmental information is manifest in the creature's appearance, the creature becomes an forecaster of the Earth's life span - literally, a clock creature.
