Impact of Climate Induced Sea Level Rise on Coastal Cities in United States

Architecture 2030 has undertaken a study which shows the probable impact on Coastal Cities in United States starting with a 1 Meter Sea Level rise (induced by climate change).

The flood maps generated by the study were
superimposed over Google Earth images to illustrate in detail how localities will be flooded on a calm, rain-free day at high tide at various increments of sea level rise
Here's a Google Maps View of the coastal cities mentioned in the Architecture 2030 Study. On clicking the marker the current image of the city along with a after (sea level rise) image of the city is shown.
