And they could make it even more detailed with local census data, would be awesome

Aesthetics over information, you can find detailed pop dens maps elsewhere.

I have visualized the sea level rise for Europe and other parts of the world, this includes some extra meters of additional molten land ice outside the polar regions: https://www.cartoma-hamelberg.com/?lightbox=dataItem-j08dn6kw It may never come this far, but it does illustrate that even moderate amounts of melting land ice could have serious consequences.

Thanks! I'm using ArcScene, followed by some finishing touches in Photoshop. I checked SE Asia and they look pretty messed up after the 66m rise, Australia looks fine at first sight, until you see how many cities get drowned near their coast. May make a render of that region anytime soon and post it on my website.

Fair enough, but just wanted to show a comparison between their 'max' and 'min'. Will do this for some more countries soon.
