OFF THE BEATEN PATH

GlobalFloodMap.org offers an interactive map of areas that would be flooded by changes in sea level. The map below illustrates the impact of a six inch increase (click for larger view). According to the site, "Global Flood Map uses NASA satellite data to show the areas of the world under water and at risk for flooding if ocean levels rise. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), sea levels have been rising about 3 mm per year since 1993 - totaling a 200 mm increase (7.87 inches) in global averaged sea level since 1870."
