I found a website called FireTree flood maps, this website uses NASA data and Google Maps data to estimate the average sea level rise globally. Any location in the world can be looked at. I've chosen to look at one local example; Brisbane and one International example; Bangkok, Thailand.
The reason I chose Bangkok is that it is a relatively low lying city that is densely populated. In the event that the sea levels rise over a meter, as Australia is one of Thailand's closest neighbors we would likely receive many Climate Refugees.

Australia with sea levels at 0m
Australia with sea levels at 50m
I intend to use this data for graphically purposes on the group poster.
