Watching the sea-level rise, virtually.

Here’s an interesting Google Maps implementation: Flood Maps.

What if the sea-level where to rise? .. Because the polar ice-caps are melting at an alarming rate … Would you be able to keep your feet dry? Now you can find out for yourself. (And maybe decide about that piece of real-estate you’ve layed your eyes on. )

As a resident of The Netherlands this is all old news. As I have had virtual wet feet all my live. But still it’s a nice *cough* mashup.

   Hi,
   We are interested in doing more with Google Earth Sea Level Rise Maps for the Eastern Coast of the United States. I need to find out how to do this, or who can help us do this.
   How can I find a Google Earth Expert to help us chart sea level rise in the Southeastern portion of the United States?
   Thanks
   Melissa
