Problem: Take a Bath

Consider the effects on land from the melting of the north polar ice cap due
to the predicted increase in global temperatures. Specifically, model the
effects on the coast of Florida every ten years for the next 50 years due to
the melting, with particular attention given to large metropolitan areas.
Propose appropriate responses to deal with this. A careful discussion of the
data used is an important part of the answer.
