Nasa forecast: Which cities will flood as ice melts?

Media captionWhich cities might suffer as the ice melts
A forecasting tool reveals which cities will be affected as different portions of the ice sheet melt, say scientists. 
It looks at the Earth's spin and gravitational effects to predict how water will be "redistributed" globally. 
"This provides, for each city, a picture of which glaciers, ice sheets, [and] ice caps are of specific importance," say the researchers. 
The tool has been developed by scientists at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
