Sea Level Rise Map In Your Country
The below map can be used to show which areas would be under water if sea level rises a specific amount. You can select your country and level of rising sea; then press "show map" button. Although this map is not a carefully surveyed and extremely accurate presentation, it does provide a visually striking view of what geographic areas might be flooded if global climate change continues unabated.
This sea level rise map was created by Alex Tingle using the Google Maps API, NASA data and lots of programming savvy. He explains how the map was created, the sea level data and issues about map accuracy here. We thank Alex for allowing us to share this map on Geology.com. Also thanks to Google and NASA for providing the resources needed to make this map.
