First high-resolution 3D map of 2.75 billion buildings worldwideModels of all the world’s buildings now available in an interactive 3D map
The open-data GlobalBuildingAtlas is the first high-resolution 3D map of 2.75 billion buildings worldwide.

While it doesn't directly address our warming climate or our higher waters, a November study published in the Earth's Future journal aims to help U.K. communities safeguard their vulnerable infrastructure as the problem intensifies in the coming decades.
