2009 Recipient Profile
William Lorimer, Tim Bromfield & Lynn Morris - Atlantic Rising
According to recent climate predictions, the Atlantic sea level will rise up to 1.5m over the next 100 years.
This journey will follow the contours of the ocean’s future coastline, exploring the places, people and histories that will be lost in the rising tide of global warming. The route will pass through swampland, salt plains and scrub, from the wilds of Scotland to the rainforests of the Amazon.
It is a unique expedition that takes an alternative look at global warming - the pre-eminent challenge facing our generation.
