Is there a reason behind "+60m" being the maximum the map displays? I tried to change the url [0] directly but it's not working that way. I want to know how much the sea level needs to rise so we have direct access to the sea in Austria.

- nraynaud 13y agoyes, it's pre-computed I guess.
- maxerickson 13y agoThe blog talks about it: http://blog.firetree.net/2006/05/18/more-about-flood-maps/ http://blog.firetree.net/2006/05/18/more-about-flood-maps/ The elevation data was processed to fit into 4 bits (so the server has 16 values available, "No Data" + 15 elevation levels).

- mjmahone17 13y agoAustria can get a shallow water port on the Black Sea, in Vienna, with a rise of ~500ft.
- roywiggins 13y agoIt's fairly close to the maximum theoretical rise, if all the ice melted (~80m, apparently)[0]. Also, here are some interesting maps, including Earth with 66m rise, Mars with oceans, and more[1].
