What's new – Better coloring of flooding layers and sea-level depth filtering

Oct 22, 2020

The default coloring of flooded areas is now based on water depth, such that shallow areas are light blue and deep areas are dark blue, instead of the event based coloring that has been the traditional default choice in SCALGO Live. This makes the maps more intuitive and problematic areas easier to distinguish. The event based coloring is still available in the layer settings . In parallel we are also rolling out support for depth filtering in the sea-level rise analysis. This happens on a country-by-country basis.
