随着水的温暖和冰盖融化,Google Earth/Climate Centralth世界海洋水平的上升速度越来越快。
由科罗拉多大学 - 博尔德大学教授史蒂夫·尼勒姆(Steve Nerem)领导的研究人员研究了可以追溯到1993年的卫星数据,以追踪海平面的上升。
他们的发现,发表在期刊上国家科学院论文集,表明海平面不仅上升 - 在过去的25年中,这种崛起一直在加速。
根据气候专家。如果最糟糕的气候变化预测实现了,那么美国沿海城市将因洪水泛滥和到2100年的风暴潮流而遭受破坏。
研究小组气候中心已经为Google Earth创建了一个插入式插件,该插件说明了“极端”海平面上升情况的灾难性,如果洪水发生在今天发生的洪水,这是基于一个预测2017年报告来自国家海洋与大气机构。
您可以安装插件(方向这里),看看美国主要城市可能会变成什么样。
NOAA在2017年1月报道说,在最坏的情况下,由于极地熔化和冰块崩溃造成的洪水可能导致海平面上升到2100年的海平面上升10至12英尺。
今天是华盛顿特区。著名的波托马克河贯穿其中。

这就是华盛顿特区在2100年的样子 - 如Calimate Central在Google Earth的插件上所见。海水导致河流溢出。
