City
Views
The
city views will provide
you with a close-up perspective
of the changes in sea level
caused by the thawing out
of Antarctica. Detailed
satellite images of Washington,
D.C. and Seattle, Washington
have been enhanced using
GIS to illustrate the flooding
at various stages. As
you explore these two cities
keep these questions in
mind…

Questions:
·
Do
the cities flood at the
same rate and why?
·
If
you were a city planner
or official, how would
you
propose to prepare for the
flooding?
·
Both
of these locations have
historic and cultural
landmarks
that you can identify by
moving your cursor
over
the image. What could
be done to help protect
these important landmarks?
