Muchas veces se ha hablado acerca de cuánto subiría el nivel del mar si se derritieran los hielos polares. Algunos hablan de 30 metros, otros de 15, otros de 8...
Quién puede asegurar cuántos metros subiría el mar...
Lo cierto es que hay una gran cantidad de población costera alrededor del mundo que sería seriamente afectada.
Esta animación de gráficos muestra qué pasaría con una porción de las costas de Argentina y Uruguay si las aguas subieran 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 y 11 metros.
Está basada en el relevamiento topográfico hecho por la NASA hace unos años, con una resolución de 90 metros.
El impacto que produciría una inundación de este tipo es muy difícil de estimar. Piensen que en el área del Micro Centro de Buenos Aires, vive poca gente pero miles de personas trabajan a diario allí. La economía se vería enormemente afectada. Cerca del 90% de las exportaciones de Argentina salen al mundo a través del Puerto de Buenos Aires.
Para no hacer tan grande el archivo obvié seguir "río arriba". Me refiero al impacto que se produciría en ciudades como Rosario y Santa Fé en Argentina y Fray Bentos en Uruguay. Ambos ríos, el Paraná y el Uruguay se verían enormemente afectados con estos niveles de crecidas.
Algunos consejos:
Una vez descargado el archivo (hay que esperar unos momentos), aparece en la parte superior de la pantalla la Barra de Control de Tiempo:
En ella hagan clic en el Reloj y se desplegará una ventana:
Ajusten los controles como se muestra en esta imagen de arriba. Luego de aceptar hagan clic en el botón de "Play" (2)
Otras "Inundaciones": Florida (USA) , San Francisco (USA) , Nueva York (USA) , Rio do Janeiro (Brasil)

Many times we heard about how much would rise the sea level due to polar ice melting. Someone says 30 mts, others 15, others 8...who knows..
Truth is there are many people living at shores around the world and they would be seriously affected.
This GIS graphics animation shows what would happend to a piece of Argentine and Uruguay shores if the sea level rises 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 meters.
It´s very difficult to calculate the impact such kind of flood would cause. Think in Buenos Aires downtown, few people lives there but many thousands go to work everyday to that part of the city.
The economy would be affected as 90% of export sales goes out trough Buenos Aires Harbour.
Not to make the file so big I didn´t create the upstreams flooded areas. But both Paraná and Uruguay rivers would be seriously flooded, bringing caos at big cities like Rosario and Santa Fé in Argentina and Fray Bentos in Uruguay.
Based on NASA SRTM with 90 meters resolution.
Tips: Once downloaded clic in the "Clock" and setup as shown:
Then, clic in "Play" (2)

Others "Floods": Florida (USA) , San Francisco (USA) , Nueva York (USA) , Rio do Janeiro (Brasil)

Hi diane
Sorry I wasn´t aware of your reply.

I...really didn´t think that this could be so scary...But you are right. Anyway, if something like this happens, it´s going to take some time, I think.
And, going deeper in my soul, I would like to say that everything that happens to each of us is not a problem but an opportunity to learn, to be a better person...if life (which I understands it as a School) puts in front of us such thing...well, maybe because we need something like this to learn something we need to.
To all of you who may feel scary, remember that you and only you "builds" the fear inside. If you want, in a second, there will be no fear anymore.
Regards
