A survey to collect sea level data specific to each of us
In an effort to bring home the topic of sea rise and offer relatable figures, I’ve started a project that seeks to discover how much the seas nearest our birthplaces have risen across our lifetimes. Average sea level readings are widely reported, but lost in average figures are the various local factors that make for wide ranging fluctuations in levels of rise around the world.
By providing your name, birth year and place of birth, the level of sea rise nearest your birthplace will be calculated and added to a new artwork.
