Satellite Images of the U.S. Shoreline as Sea Levels Start to Rise
Posted in World on May 9th, 2006
Climatologists agree that world sea levels will rise this century. Skimming through the headlines on the topic at Digg, the predictions seem to suggest higher and higher sea levels. The first prediction that popped up on Digg suggested a 90cm, the most recent predicted a rise of 3.5 meters or 11.5 feet.
What would that world look like? While not super accurate, this cool Google Maps mash up will let you see what the world might look like at various increments of sea level rising. For a static, more accurate scenario, Harvard Magazine commissioned an artist to show what the Gulf Coast and Island of Manhattan might look like if sea levels were to rise by 3.5 meters or 11.5 feet.

Hi,
We would like to learn how to use sea level rise maps and Google Earth. We need to find an expert on Google Earth to help us create some detailed sea level rise maps for the Southeastern Coast of the United States.
Please contact me if you have any information about who can do sea level rise maps on Google earth.
Thanks
