World-building: help!!!!

[matt_doyle]

Does anyone know of any programs or even any maps that could show me what the world would look like with higher or lower sea level or glaciation? A really good elevation map of the world would work, but my google-fu is too weak for me to find one that I could actually use to re-draw coastlines, which is what I need/want to do.

http://flood.firetree.net/ There's some trouble with inland bodies of water (landlocked seas, for example, rise as well) but it's helpful.

Thanks! Is there a way for it to project more than +14m, do you know?

[feuervogel]

I don't... I think 14 m (uh, about 60 feet?) is about the current worst-case scenario, which is what they're looking at. It's a whole project thingy, and maybe they've got more information on their site. (Or not... it looks kinda sparse.) Contact person?

Fair enough! Thanks!

Oh! That's the one I couldn't remember on the SU board!

Thanks! Also, damn! (I'm trying to find something that will help me alter the coastlines of the world to the point of unrecognizability).
