Geometric grids of the surface of the sphere, as used in Earth sciences.
This repository contains four Grid Models, providing geometric source data (vertices and edges positions), and 3D-printable realizations (adding thickness to the edges and structural consistency).
Their primary use is in the "10-minute museum on the mathematics of climate crisis" by IMAGINARY.
The grid models are the following:
- Latitude and Longitude grid.
- Cubed Sphere grid.
- Hexagonal Icosahedral grid.
- Octahedral Gaussian grid.
On each respective folder you can find source data and 3D-printable final data (stl files).
Text accompanying the 3D sculptures in the 10-minute museum can be found here.
