This is an extract from the blog of a few friends. Basically a simple Java applet that enables playing with the sea level and see what impact this has on the world's coastlines.
This is a game: play with the world's sea level, while keeping in mind that the most pessimistic models predict an elevation of 1 meter before 2100 (start by entering 1 meter just to see ...). Using maps of France, Europe, or the World, and current topography, create variations in sea levels and picture the result.
Nota bene: in French, and Java required (activated)
