    the only way we’d get more usable coastline as sea levels rise is if landmass got “thicker” at higher elevations, but it does not.

    at a fractal level, anything can happen, but at a practical/macro level it’s pretty self evident; landmasses are smaller up high and bigger the base because gravity.
