Is this your river island dream house? Mapping predicted sea level rise (7)


Google Earth mapping showing the effects of a 1 metre sea level rise in a river delta area on the New South Wales coast, which would possibly see water encroaching on the idllyic river island property pictured above.
The 2009 Federal Government report
Climate Change Risks to Australia's Coasts contains a 'worst case' scenario involving a 1.1 metre sea level rise along the NSW coast sometime within the next 90 years.
