Map videos
Sweden while all ice sheets melt, adding between 0.0 and 65.0 m to sea level. Maps are centered on 6900000, 600000 (SWEREF 99 TM). Sea level rise above present sea level.

- Sea and land altitude refers to new sea level. With and without labels, 2.4 and 2.2 Mbyte
- Sea and land altitude refers to present sea level, flooded surfaces are in violet. With and without labels, 2.2 and 2.0 Mbyte
Consequence tables
Interactive tables showing consequences, like land loss and population displacement, for all of Sweden and all Swedish communes, at various sea level rises.
- Sea level rise 0.0 m: present situation.
- Sea level rise 1.0 m: plausible rise until 2100 according to an IPCC report 2013.
- Sea level rise 2.5 m: possible rise until 2100 according to a NOAA report 2017.
- Sea level rise 5.0 m: if the West Antarctic ice sheet melts.
- Sea level rise 7.0 m: if the Greenland ice sheet melts.
- Sea level rise 12.0 m: if the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets melt.
- Sea level rise 15.0 m: if all ice sheets outside East Antarctic melt.
- Sea level rise 20.0 m: if all ice sheets outside East Antarctic melt, plus 10% of East Antarctic.
- Sea level rise 25.0 m: if all ice sheets outside East Antarctic melt, plus 20% of East Antarctic.
- Sea level rise 30.0 m: if all ice sheets outside East Antarctic melt, plus 30% of East Antarctic.
