Global warming flooding maps

Hmm, found some DEMs.

Of course you need ArcGIS for these

This is neat

Sorry, I'm an Earth Scientist, these are some of the tools we use. I hope it's not all too technical.

I can post stuff for a million hours, I'll try and look up some more web friendly material.

Ok, something a bit more interactive.

Is this more along the lines of what you're looking for?

Thanks for your stuff so far anon, go ahead and dump what you've got. I'll check it out on my computer tomorrow, i can't access it right now.

There is literally mountains of data I could dump for weeks. I don't know what you're looking for so I'll leave it at this for now. Let me know if you find any of that useful.

is a free GIS viewer.

Thanks. I'll specify some more tomorrow. This is some good stuff.

I'm looking for stuff that includes how the rising seas would change the currents and overall climate, plus which land areas would look different. Any stuff on what it would be like to live in a temperate polar zone like Antarctica post global warming would be good too. Also stuff on Greenland and Antarctica's land bouncing back from the weight of its melted glaciers.

The catastrophic climate change you're talking about is not expected to occur even in the worst case scenario. The only way you will get changes in ocean currents is by moving the continents.

Here is a map (it's the simple one from geology.com) showing a 7 meter rise of sea level. We expect less than 1 meter of sea level change in the next century. To get changes to currents you're thinking of would require much, much, much more than a 7 meter rise of sea level.

If you mean the thermohaline circulation we don't know enough about it yet to determine how it will affect the climate in the future. Sadly your guess is probably as good as any scientist's right now.

As for glacial rebound I don't know enough to answer you.
I found this through a quick search.

Looks interesting.

I found this about changes to the thermohaline circulation. I admit, it's well out of my knowledge. We may need to wait for an oceanographer.

I'm thinking more long term, like over the course of thousands of years even. Plus I wonder how much glacial melt it would take for greenland's center elevation to start rising again. Would that possibly accelerate the rate of the ice falling into the sea?

Thanks. I'll probably look through all these resources you're dumping and create a thread on /sci/ down the road. Neat stuff.

A warning about the thermohaline circulation. Our recent predictions about it were wrong. We're still learning it seems. So I don't know what predictions about it you can trust.

This appears to be a paper describing some of the problems we're facing with making predictions about it.

Thanks. I'll have to find the really recent stuff to trust.
