Sea Level Change
Modern sea-level Sea-level +c.1m (melting of all modern mountain glaciers) Sea-level +c.9m (melting of all modern mountain glaciers + Greenland Ice-sheet)

Several years ago I was manipulating some modern Digital Elevation Models as part of my palaeogeographic work. Part of this involved flooding the modern world for varying sea-level rises, including changes associated with melting increasing amounts of the worlds cryosphere (ice). In the last week the subject of sea-level change has been back in the news as concerns rise again about the effects of global warming on the Arctic and Greenland ice sheets, so I thought that it was time to put some of this work on the web site.

The flooding show in red is not corrected for isostatic effects due to the mass of the water load, nor is there any attempt to correct for thermal expansion due to temparture increases.

More information can be found in the climate change section
