Sydney Updated maps show some of Australia’s coastal hotspots could be washed away as oceans rise, new climate change modelling revealed on Tuesday.
Coastal Risk Australia, created by two Australian mapping companies, allows users to visualise how their homes, neighbourhoods and favourite coastal spots could be vulnerable to rising sea levels.
The maps use modelling from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which predicts sea levels could rise by 84-centimetres by 2100.
“Seeing is believing. Maps are a universal language for communicating climate change science and by personalising potential impacts we can build awareness and effective adaptation,” executive director of mapping company NGIS Nathan Eaton said in a statement on the site. (dpa)
