FloodMaps
It seems that I am interested in how to survive environmental challenges these days. Check out this site called FloodMaps, which shows the effect of a sea level rise on various places around the globe. It's a mashup of Google Maps and NASA elevation data.
For instance, I tried the San Francisco Bay Area under a 7-meter sea-level rise. This is the rise expected if Greenland's glacial ice pack melts completely. It certainly has a different shape, and would be a greater effect than Katrina was on New Orleans.
Kudos to those who put this together. These types of tools and visualizations are important for helping us to understand the climate data we are taking, the better to act wisely.
