The Fate of the Gobi

The Gobi Desert is what ecologists call an "interior desert" because it's too far away for water to reach.

Now imagine that the Caspian Drainage Basin to the west has experienced a 75-meter rise in sea levels. Then imagine Asia's east coast to the east experiencing the same thing.

Would the Gobi Desert still exist with these changes? If so, will it be the same Gobi we know?
