Sea Level Rise Maps for Oz

http://www.ozcoasts.org.au/climate/sd_visual.jsp

The three scenarios developed by CSIRO for sea level rise between 2030-2100 (relative to 1990) are presented below.
The low scenario (B1): considers sea-level rise in the context of a global agreement which brings about dramatic reductions in global emissions and represents the upper end of the range for sea-level rise by 2100 which is likely to be unavoidable.
The medium scenario (A1FI): Represents the upper end of IPCC's 4th Assessment Report (AR4) A1FI projections and is in line with recent global emissions and observations of sea-level rise.
The high-end scenario: considers the possible high end risk identified in the AR4 and more specifically in post IPCC AR4 research. This scenario factors in recent publications that explore the impacts of recent warming trends on ice sheet dynamics beyond those already included in the IPCC projections.


Kinda makes me glad I've moved inland.
