"What If's" for Sea Level Rise From Global Warming

#317865 - 02/17/06 08:49 PM

I'd like to know if there is any way to set parameters to see how much of any given area will go under water if the sea level rises by a given amount.

Is there any layer feature that will do this?

Thanks

Hi Tony,

Click my placemark. It includes an overlay of Europe after a 100 metre sea level rise.

Although I didn't do enough Googling to find a picture of the whole world (that would still look good on GE), so you might want to see if you can find a picture of the world after a rise in sea level and post it for us. But mine should give you a head start.

Happy Googling!!

A quick search revealed this for North America:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php?...true#Post166930
(searched for '+Sea +Level' )

But even better is the network link at this page:
http://bernhard.sterzbach.de/geflood.html
which you can set the height to what ever you want and it works anywhere in the world!
(searched for 'Height' in the Dynamic Data Layers Forum)

Assuming this works, this is great. I thought the graphics Al Gore used in his new film were so effective. Everyone should be able to see the effects of sea-level rises for themselves, to see what part of their vital infrastructure will be wiped out in the next 50 years. (Also useful for home-buyers!)
