These links will take you to maps that will help you figure out how the rising oceans will affect where you live now - or where you intend to live in the future.

Note that most of the text says the sea will take up to 100 years to rise - assuming the Antarctic and Greenland ice cover all melts in that time.

HOWEVER - what they miss is the influence of many other factors that affect the earth - including solar storms and the activity of the sun.

This omission may not be deliberate, but what it means is that most people are unaware that the seas could rise SUDDENLY in the event of a quick meltdown of Greenland and Antarctica.

All the maps are based on available scientific data.

Let's start with this one of London under a 14 meter sea level rise

The beauty of these is that they are based on the Google Earth/Satellite/Maps complex. Which means you can call up any place on the planet, then get a map view, or a satellite view, a hybrid view - and you can zoom in right down to local street level.

For some reason I was unable to find the name of the webmaster who created them - otherwise I would definitely give him credit.

Also note that they sea level rise options only go to about 14 meters. That's approximately 45 feet.

That's next to nothing in light of a melt down of Greenland and Antarctica. When that happens, the oceans will rise by as much as 200 feet.

If you have other links to add, please do so.

Interesting to watch. Fortunately I'm at almost 500 feet,and I know some people who think 11,000 is maybe just high enough LOL

The More Sea Level Rise Maps site has county-specific and state-specific maps showing elevations relative to spring high water (i.e. above the tidal wetlands) for the mid-Atlantic U.S. states, generally with contour intervals of either 50 or 100 centimeters.

To view these links I find it best to do a right click (I use Firefox) and "Open in New Tab."  That way I don't get kicked off the forum.

That's a really great site. Just wish I'd known about it before I wrotre my latest feature on sea level rise in Earth Change Report.

Thanks for contributing. Much appreciated.
