Animated Flooding Maps – Storm Surge, Sea Level Rise And River Flooding

November 18, 2008

“A while back, I did a post on assessing the effects of sea level rise on coastlines using the program 3DEM. Here’s a terrain image of southern Manhattan Island at current sea level . . . “

“And here’s what it would look like with 8 meters of flooding, due either to a hurricane storm surge or global-warming-induced sea level rise . . . “

Sea Level Rise Animation in Google Earth

November 16, 2008

Climate change and increased atmospheric temperatures are predicted to cause a significant rise in sea level over the next 100-200 years. Scenarios that take into account rapid melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and West Antarctic Ice Shelf warn of sea level rise of greater than 20 ft (6 meters) over the next couple centuries. This animation shows what that level of rise would look like over a couple seconds. It uses very course scale global elevation data to visualize a rising sea affect, but should be considered highly accurate.”

Maps for “An End to Global Warming”

November 15, 2008

“Laurence Williams’ book “An End to Global Warming” (see also the Elsevier page), I created a series of maps showing the possible effects of rising sea levels; they were used for the book cover and interior illustrations.

The maps were derived from the GTOPO30 dataset, a 30 arc-second resolution digital map of global topography. Border data came from the NIMA Vector Map Level 0. “
