How much sea water would it take to fill Death Valley and how much would this effect sea level?

From Ocean Atlas and using you figure of 1-2 inches you would get with a lot of rounding 40,000 inches in on km leangth. Divide 335,258,000 by 40,000 and we get 8381 cubic km for each inch of ocean level rise.

At its greatest extent the Lake Manly which filled Death Valley during the ice ages in the past was 800 feet deep at it maximum and 80 miles long in a typical rift valley lake system.

Roughly guessing I would put that at 80*10 or 800 square miles and if the slope is 45 degrees that would be as if it were all about 400 feet deep. Divide 400 by 0.3861022 gives 1036 square km, 400 feet equals 4800 inches divided by 40,000 equals .12 cubic km per square km. Multiply 1036 by .12 gives you 125 cubic km. 8381 divided by 125 means filling Death Valley would be equal to 1/67 inches of ocean water. Hardly seems worth the effort for .015 inches of meltwater.
