Drowning Cities


Flood Vancouver is an impressive visualization of how rising body of body of water levels could touching on the urban inwardness of Vancouver. The Flood Vancouver 3D map allows you lot to manually adapt the degree of the body of body of water to visualize which parts of the urban inwardness would inundation at unlike body of body of water levels.

You tin adapt the body of body of water degree on the map past times clicking on the upward too downwardly arrows on your keyboard. The 3D buildings on the map volition alter color depending on their status. The xanthous buildings are unaffected past times the rising body of body of water level. However the buildings plough pinkish when the degree of the body of body of water starts lapping at their lower floors. When the buildings plough cerise on the map it is fourth dimension to homo the lifeboats.


If you lot similar drowning cities too so you lot volition definitely similar the Island of Berlin. This visualization provides a dramatic (if non just accurate) model of how global warming could number Berlin.

The Island of Berlin uses WebGL to exercise a 3D model of Berlin. The model depicts Berlin equally surrounded past times a vast sea. Using the slide command you lot tin heighten the degree of this body of body of water to persuasion which areas of Berlin would rest higher upward H2O at unlike body of body of water levels. Obviously Berlin is non an isle surrounded past times sea, so this visualization may non travel solely accurate.


Almost 20% of Singapore is reclaimed land. The province is so really worried nearly the probable effects of rising body of body of water levels. In gild to illustrate the possible impact of body of body of water degree ascent terminal twelvemonth the Straits Times released a virtual reality visualization called Singapore Underwater.

Singapore Underwater users virtual reality to exhibit how Singapore mightiness await inward the futurity if global warming leads to rising body of body of water levels. Singapore Underwater explains the reasons why body of body of water levels are rising simply about the world. The visualization likewise looks at how Singapore mightiness campaign to mitigate against rising seas too the possible impact of dry ground loss too saltwater contamination of the country's farmland & reservoirs.

Singapore Underwater is best viewed alongside a VR headset but tin travel viewed on a desktop, tablet or mobile device
