We are planning to study the effect of sealevel rise on the coastal infrastructures in Kuwait. Your work is a pre-runner and I am using it to advocate what will happen to Kuwaiti coastal areas if sea level rises by 1m, 2m, 3m etc. Though the flooding area is approximate, we are getting some thought provoking informations to alert people what will happen to the important coastal infrastructures for diferent magnitudes of sea level rise. I appreciate your good work. Please keep my email in your alert list and share any new information you get on high resolution digital elevations and other informations related to impact of sea level rise.</p> <p>Dr. S.

mistake in calculating: The hill is nearly 100m high, but flooded with 14m?

And it is interesting to see where I cen choose my next living environment within the worst case perimeters. Since hard disk in the meantime is extremely cheap, I suppose the limit there is not really a burden any more, is it? Kind Regards Johan, Belgium</p> Hi there The reason I would like you to get scenarios up to 75 meters is simple: if all ice melts this is approx. the sealevel rise.

Without human interfering for about 1500 years the low countries would be flooded by now. The current measures could withstand about a 2m rise in sea level.</p> <p>AFAIK the ice cap thickness from both Greenland and the Antarctic are raw estimates.</p> The outcome for The Netherlands is wrong.

For exmple, in another place I see Norway is still rising owing to the loss of glaciers from the last ice age. Other places are sinking. Antarctica is expected to rise by several hundred metres.</p> Did you take into account rises and falls in continental plates.

When will you implement the ability to show a 50 m rise in sea level? This website alerts people to the very real consequence of carbon dioxide atmosphere concentration greater than .048%.

One meter rise is more than enough to put me underwater !!! I am in Cabo Frio , Brazil !!! Please let me know when ( and how ) we will be able to print that maps . Should be wonderfull to show in the schools I work . Bernard</p> Loved your work !!! One meter rise is more than enough to put me underwater !!! I am in Cabo Frio , Brazil !!!
