Samhain agus Science - Things that go bump in the... Ocean

The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) conducts advanced studies exploring big questions of the 21stcentury and beyond. Its research gains insights into Celtic society and its legacy; progresses our understanding of our island, our planet and the universe; and deciphers the underpinning mathematical principles of nature.The Institute leads Ireland’s participation in a number of international and global initiatives that focus on big unanswered questions for mankind.When it was founded in 1940, DIAS was the world’s second-only institute for advanced studies – and the first such institute in Europe. For 80 years, it has pushed the boundaries of discovery and, today, it is a globally-embedded institution that attracts high-calibre researchers from all over the world in its core disciplines of Celtic Studies, Theoretical Physics, Astrophysics and Geophysics. DIAS Dunsink Observatory is a designated European site of historical significance for physics.

Samhain agus Science 2021

Samhain agus Science is an annual initiative of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies taking place each year during Halloween.

Sound artist &amp; composer David Stalling has collaborated with a team of seismologists at DIAS, led by Sergei Lebedev (now a DIAS Adjunct Professor, and at Cambridge University), since 2018. What has emerged is a new set of tools for making sounds of the Earth audible by the human ear, using the latest surround sound technology. Seismometers and underwater hydrophones record vibrations of the ground, vibrations of the seafloor and acoustic waves in the water. Variations in the amplitude of the vibrations in different directions at the same location and between different locations add spatial information on the signals. Stalling found a new way to make this spatial information audible using the ambisonic surround sound technique. The renderings of these vibrations into the sonic domain make for an enthralling, immersive listening experience. Join David and Sergei in conversation with Dr. Claire O'Connell to discuss the meeting of science and art to produce these unique compositions.This is an online event which will be hosted in Zoom. Registration is required.
