I imagine it as a bank of gauges.

Row after row, evoking a sound recording studio or a power plant control room, in a windowless underground room in the heart of the scientific establishment. Beneath each gauge is a neat label: Sea Ice, Ocean Temperature, CO2, Ozone, Nitrous Oxides, Aerosols, Sea Level, Permafrost. Each summarizes a different group of specialist sensors or cameras making carefully calibrated measurements from orbit. New gauges are added every year: Methane Plumes, Forest Mass, Sea Salinity, Phytoplankton. These are the early warning indicators, each the first link in a chain that connects us to disaster.
