Sea level rises

http://flood.firetree.net/ combines Google maps with elevation data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission to draw maps of raised sea levels. The default, of a seven metre rise (corresponding to Greenland's ice cover melting), puts my house on the "shoreline". Via http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/004230.html.
And, while we're on the subject Arctic, Antarctic Melting May Raise Sea Levels Faster than Expected (via http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/03/polar_melting_m.html).
