Drain the Oceans, Or Not

Drain the oceans and flood the land with this sea level simulator

You’ve surely seen interactive maps showing the effects of the sea level rising, but Sliding Shores makes a game of it: you get a beautifully-rendered globe and a slider to raise or lower the oceans. There’s a load of presets, from “oceans drained” to “drown Everest,” a feat not even Waterworld managed.

Here’s the actual tool: Sliding Shores — Interactive Sea Level Rise Simulator by Richard Franklin.

(It had me at “Boil off 100 feet and we get Doggerland back!” Want to more about why that’s cool? It’s a real-life Atlantis, kinda sorta! Check out this backgrounder.)
