Inspiration

Global warming is a problem that people often ignore because they don't think it will ever impact them in their lifetime. So we made a tool to visualize the impacts of rising sea levels to convince people that it is a real issue.

What it does

Visualizes how NOAA sea level rises effects the United States.

How we built it

Converted the United States to a large matrix and ran flood fill with sea level at each boundary position for every year from 2018-2100. Used google maps for the visual.

Challenges we ran into

Dealing with large datasets Finding sea level data set.
