Morecambe Bay Timescapes Engaging Young

项目摘要

This project aims to help young people understand how climate change will shape the future of Morecambe Bay and the communities that inhabit it. By bringing together information on past and future coastal changes, and personal histories, this project will reflect on alternative futures and different ways to build community preparedness to environmental challenges.Current predictions show the significant impact that sea level rise and extreme weather events will have on coastal areas worldwide. However, what exactly will happen to individual coastal communities will vary greatly, and will largely depend on local geology, climate, infrastructures and community preparedness. Shoreline management plans presenting regional risk assessment and strategies are available, but the specialised formats and the language used in these documents make them effectively inaccessible to the public. In addition, these documents disregard the perspectives of coastal communities, and the tacit knowledge developed by people who have been affected by flooding and weather events in the past. Collecting localised knowledge and making it readable to the lay public is essential both to understand the impact of climate change in specific places and to inform local policies and public participation in decision making.In this project, students at Lancaster Our Lady's College, Morecambe Bay Academy, Carnforth High School, and Lancaster and Morecambe College will work with researchers in design, computing, and environmental science to create visualisations of place-specific coastal pasts and futures based on an innovative interdisciplinary methodology that brings together predictive models, citizen science, and ethnographic approaches. These visualisations will be presented as reels of stereographs accompanied by zines (also produced by the students) telling stories of coastal pasts and futures. They will reveal stories, questions, and images co-produced by researchers and young people, based on data collected in the first stage of the project. Each zine will feature a map indicating the coastal location of the stereoscope to use for bringing the visualisations to life. When looked at through the corresponding stereoscope, the images printed on the reel will appear as tri-dimensional visualisations. A sensor will also activate an audio track with sounds, stories, and critical questions for the audience. These audio-visual 'Timescapes' will be displayed during a Coastal Futures Festival as site-specific installations, which will enable members of the public to look at their surroundings through the lenses of costal change. This is an innovative approach, which enables students to design and produce the tools that are used to create immersive visualisations. The project appropriates the optical and mechanical tools of stereoscopy for a novel, creative purpose. No programming, proprietary software, or expensive equipment will be necessary, and young people will have full control over the whole process. As part of the Coastal Futures Festival, students will be engaged in a programme of talks and events in which they will share their visualisations with local councils, and environmental groups, including Environment Agency, North West Coastal Group & Forum, Heysham Heritage Centre, Lancashire Archives, and Lancaster City Council. The event will act as a catalyst for conversations on local futures and the role that public and professional bodies and members of the community can play in planning for response and adaptation to climate change, showing clear pathways for how young people can play an active role in these processes.

该项目旨在帮助年轻人了解气候变化将如何塑造莫克姆湾及其居住社区的未来。通过汇集有关过去和未来沿海变化以及个人历史的信息，该项目将反思替代的未来和不同的方式来建立社区应对环境挑战的准备。当前的预测显示海平面上升和极端天气事件将对全球沿海地区产生重大影响。然而，各个沿海社区到底会发生什么情况会有很大差异，并且在很大程度上取决于当地的地质、气候、基础设施和社区的准备情况。提出区域风险评估和战略的海岸线管理计划是可用的，但这些文件中使用的专门格式和语言使公众实际上无法获取它们。此外，这些文件忽视了沿海社区的观点，以及过去受洪水和天气事件影响的人们所形成的隐性知识。收集本地化知识并使其可供普通公众阅读对于了解特定地点气候变化的影响以及为当地政策和公众参与决策提供信息至关重要。在这个项目中，兰开斯特圣母学院、莫克姆湾学院、康福斯高中以及兰开斯特和莫克姆学院的学生将与设计、计算和环境科学领域的研究人员合作，根据特定地点的沿海过去和未来的可视化结果创新的跨学科方法论，将预测模型、公民科学和人种学方法结合在一起。这些可视化将以立体图卷的形式呈现，并附有杂志（也是由学生制作），讲述沿海过去和未来的故事。他们将根据项目第一阶段收集的数据，揭示研究人员和年轻人共同制作的故事、问题和图像。每本杂志都会附有一张地图，标明立体镜的沿海位置，用于将可视化效果变为现实。当通过相应的立体镜观看时，打印在卷轴上的图像将呈现为三维可视化效果。传感器还将激活一条音轨，为观众提供声音、故事和关键问题。这些视听“时间景观”将在海岸未来节期间作为特定地点的装置展示，这将使公众能够通过海岸变化的镜头来观察周围的环境。这是一种创新方法，使学生能够设计和制作用于创建沉浸式可视化的工具。该项目将立体视觉的光学和机械工具用于新颖的、创造性的目的。不需要编程、专有软件或昂贵的设备，年轻人将完全控制整个过程。作为沿海未来节的一部分，学生将参加一系列讲座和活动，与地方议会和环境组织（包括环境局、西北海岸集团和论坛、希舍姆遗产中心、兰开夏档案馆和兰开斯特市议会）分享他们的设想。该活动将成为有关当地未来以及公共和专业机构以及社区成员在规划应对和适应气候变化方面可以发挥的作用的对话的催化剂，为年轻人如何在这些进程中发挥积极作用提供明确的途径。
