In this paper we propose foregrounding concepts of visual abstraction and soundscape to inform a Geodesign process that is inclusive of a wider variety of people (designers, users, participants) and considers a wider degree of inputs (e.g. multimodal) in the design and planning of landscape. Two key research areas are reviewed: visualization abstraction (in relation to future uncertainty) & sou...

A pair of recently published studies demonstrate that what we happen to be listening to can sometimes change our perception (or, at the very least, our rating) of what we are eating or drinking. In one recent study, North (2012) showed that the emotional attributes (or connotation) of a piece of music could influence people's perception of red or white wine. Meanwhile, Crisinel et al.

Group choruses of marine animals can produce extraordinarily loud sounds that markedly elevate levels of the ambient soundscape. We investigated sound production in the Gulf corvina (Cynoscion othonopterus), a soniferous marine fish with a unique reproductive behaviour threatened by overfishing, to compare with sounds produced by other marine animals. We coupled echosounder and hydrophone surve...
