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 !!!

Thank you so much for sharing your work. Is it possible to get the model you are using? I am working to promote solar parking lots in the states and will greatly appreciate this tool to use in order to better show why we do not want to build any more coal plants! I, too, live in North Carolina and the state has approved another coal plant, raise all electricity rates 4.5% and is now seriously entertaining Duke Energy's request for another 18% residential rate increase! To pay for that bloody coal plant! </p> <p>( I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall for four years, how am I doing with the cussing? Appropriately placed? Spelled ok? Back to the matter at hand ~ ) </p> <p>The day to day citizen here in North Carolina really has no clue of the magnitude of the climate crisis. And the media seems to do absolutely nothing to enlighten them. It's still a profit-driven society and honestly, I get rather discouraged at times. Then someone like you comes along and I know that I am not the only one working (and working bloody hard!) at getting our climate into recovery which entails a whole lot of beaming & shining positivity while you endeavor to get people to change their every (seems) way of doing things! </p> <p>Anyhoos, thx for the chat, and send along a Cadbury Flake with your model, eh?</p> <p>many smiles~ Joy King Chapel Hill NC bjk5977@hotmail.com</p> Hi Alex.

I was looking for a map solution to see the effects of seal level rises in between 20 to 40M. The reason was the results of the BBC news item on the revised CO2 predictions based on new sea core data - url http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8299426.stm. CO2 levels of today, yeilded sea levels of 25M+ If you are able to amend the depth calibrations to those potenital rises, I think your data could make a lot of people think. Anyway Im off to make a jetty in the garden.</p> Hi, Great map and a valuable resource for the future. I was looking for a map solution to see the effects of seal level rises in between 20 to 40M.
