Drowning Cities

Flood Vancouver is an impressive visualization of how rising body of body of water levels could demeanour on the metropolis of Vancouver. The Flood Vancouver 3D map allows you lot to manually accommodate the degree of the body of body of water to visualize which parts of the metropolis would alluvion at unlike body of body of water levels.

You tin accommodate the body of body of water degree on the map past times clicking on the upward together with downwards arrows on your keyboard. The 3D buildings on the map volition modify color depending on their status. The xanthous buildings are unaffected past times the rising body of body of water level. However the buildings plough pinkish when the degree of the body of body of water starts lapping at their lower floors. When the buildings plough ruby on the map it is fourth dimension to human being the lifeboats.


If you lot similar drowning cities so you lot volition definitely similar the Island of Berlin. This visualization provides a dramatic (if non just accurate) model of how global warming could lawsuit Berlin.

Using the slide command you lot tin heighten the degree of this body of body of water to thought which areas of Berlin would stay higher upward H2O at unlike body of body of water levels. Obviously Berlin is non an isle surrounded past times sea, so this visualization may non hold out exclusively accurate.


Almost 20% of Singapore is reclaimed land. The province is thus real worried well-nigh the probable effects of rising body of body of water levels. In guild to illustrate the possible impact of body of body of water degree rising final yr the Straits Times released a virtual reality visualization called Singapore Underwater.

Singapore Underwater users virtual reality to present how Singapore mightiness hold off inward the futurity if global warming leads to rising body of body of water levels. Singapore Underwater explains the reasons why body of body of water levels are rising roughly the world. The visualization likewise looks at how Singapore mightiness endeavour to mitigate against rising seas together with the possible impact of dry ground loss together with saltwater contamination of the country's farmland & reservoirs.

Singapore Underwater is best viewed amongst a VR headset but tin hold out viewed on a desktop, tablet or mobile device
