Project from the 2008 BAVC Producers Institute by Daniel Grossman Turning Up the Heat is an independent radio documentary and multimedia project to raise public awareness about the human impacts of global warming. It is collaboration between Daniel Grossman and the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. There will be a series of radio features produced for Public Radio International's show “The World” along with an interactive website. The Institute project will be the “proof-of-concept” phase for what is planned as a suite of interactive-climate change-impact applications. They are planning to prototype a 3D geographically based browser game app called “Adopt a Coastline.” Players adopt a piece of coastline on an actual globe, and using modeling tools, are able to construct streets, buildings and civic infrastructure, virtual towns and cities. They can raise sea level, and take a variety of preventive measures to ameliorate the effects of flooding.
