I found a bug. According to the map, if sea levels rise by 1 meter then both Death Valley and the Salton Sea will be completely flooded. But if there's a 0 meter sea level rise, they remain unflooded. I guess relying elevation maps does not give the whole story.

"Note: Some inland depressions, such as the Caspian Sea, show inundation on the map but would not be flooded. This is because the mapping algorithm is based upon elevation and can not distinguish areas that are separated from the oceans by a ridge or other high area. Be sure that you trace a connection with the ocean before assuming the area would be flooded. "
