Rising Sea Level Animation

Zoltán Büki

Watch the dramatic effects of rising sea levels.

This file animates one scary potential effect of climate change -- rising sea levels. Will your house be underwater? Will the desert become an ocean? Use the time slider to see which locations will be submerged as the planet's oceans rise. Note: it's important to turn on the terrain in the "Layers" section of the Google Earth client. And for added effect, turn on the 3D buildings layer.

Sharing My Watercolours

Elisabeth Masset

A French artist offers a geographical depiction of her work.

Elisabeth Masset has traveled the world painting watercolours. From Tunisian mosques to French châteaus, we think Masset's beautiful works are all the more vivid when viewed in their proper geographic setting.
