Flood map shows Berkeley stays mostly dry as sea levels rise
September 7th, 2009
If you’re in Berkeley and concerned that global warming will cause sea levels to rise, you may want to be sure you’re east of San Pablo Ave. Even if sea level rises 14 meters you’ll stay dry according this interactive flood map, which shows how familiar land contours will change as the oceans rise.
Other parts of the Bay Area don’t fare so well. According to the map, even a 1 meter rise will inundate SFO, Foster City and other parts of San Mateo and Santa Clara County shoreline.
