'Super floods' raised as nuke dump hazard By Anna Salleh for ABC Science Online Rare 'super floods' may cause rivers to change course, scientists say, compromising a site the Australian Government has shortlisted for a nuclear waste dump in the Northern Territory. Hydrogeologist Peter Jolly of the Territory's Environment Department, who previously raised concerns about the suitability of the proposed dump site at Fishers Ridge, has now also cast doubt on the Harts Range site, 100 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs. Mr Jolly says the Harts Range site is on a flood plain between two active river channels that come off the ranges. He says evidence shows that over hundreds or thousands of years massive flooding has been responsible for "catastrophic changes" in the course of rivers in central Australia.

Both teams, one from the United States and the other from Europe, attribute the expected pattern to global warming accelerated by human activities. Although people may adapt to gradual climate change, the effects of extreme rain and flooding are often broad, devastating, and costly to society. Landslides, avalanches, and flooding damage infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings, and hurt agricultural productivity because of lost crops and soil erosion. Disaster relief often requires enormous funding, and the loss of human life may also be high. The two new studies, published in the January 31 issue of the journal

Four years ago the river overflowed its banks and caused devastating damage in what was dubbed "the flood of the century" in North Dakota and Minnesota. Farm fields across the region already have been turned into lakes and, with the rivers still rising, the situation is expected to get worse. "I can't believe we're doing this again," Breckenridge Mayor Cliff Barth said on CNN. "This is only four years after our major flood last time, and it's brought back a lot of hard memories." Breckenridge and its partner city on the opposite bank, Wahpeton, North Dakota, lie where the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers meet to form the Red River. The rivers are expected to be pushed higher by rain, which is forecast for the region midweek, and higher temperatures, which will melt snow still on the ground.

22 July 2005 What Caused the Martian Floods? The surface of Mars sports deep channels, apparently gouged by huge deluges. The source of this water remains a mystery, however. Now researchers suggest that kilometer-thick mineral deposits, which trapped water in the planet's early years, suddenly released their bounty when warmed by heat from the planet's interior. Scarred. Mars' enormous Valles Marineris and related channels may have formed when sulfate deposits suddenly dumped their water. CREDIT: Viking Project/USGS/NASA In the 1970s, orbiters first spotted Mars' extensive channels; some of the deepest extend from the mouth of Valles Marineris, the biggest canyon in the solar system at 4000-kilometer-long. One leading explanation for the channels is that thick layers of ice trapped groundwater, and the water burst forth when the ice cracked. But many experts doubt that enough water could have built up, or that it could have shot out fast enough to dig the channels. Now a study suggests a new mechanism for rapid flooding. Geomorphologist David Montgomery and geologist Alan Gillespie of the University of Washington, Seattle, studied more detailed images of the Valles Marineris area recently taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera and Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter. They then tied the data together with past observations of thick sulfate deposits. Montgomery and Gillespie postulate that during an early, wet period in Mars' history, the sulfate was deposited on lakeshores, trapping water in the minerals. Lava flows later buried the sulfate layers. Covered by this rocky insulation, the sulfates were warmed by the heat from the planet's interior, the group reports in the August issue of

Future What are floods? Basically a flood is a when the water level in an area rises where there was normally little or none before. Floods can be dramatic and quick or slow and creeping. Floods are natural phenomena common in many places around the world where there is either a river nearby or the local weather can dump large amounts of rain. The word 'Flood' comes from Old English, Flod , or Pleu , of an Indo-European language root. There are lots of other uses of the word flood which generally means a sudden increase in the amount of just about anything. Flood with light, flood the market with cheap goods and so on.

Areas of Hungary, Romania and the Ukraine are at risk from three rivers the Tisza, Tur and Szamos which have been swollen by heavy recent rain and melting snow. The Tisza, Hungary's second largest river, rose by over six metres at the weekend as a result of rapidly melting snow and two days of rain in neighbouring Ukraine. A state of emergency has been declared in Hungary after flood waters forced the evacuation of thousands of people. On Tuesday, more than 7,000 people were evacuated from their flood-threatened homes in eight villages, the local news agency MTI reported. Among them were hundreds of people evacuated from the village of Kispalad, which is adjacent to Hungary's boarders with Ukraine and Romania, after floodwaters broke through a dyke. In Romania, about 1,600 people have been evacuated from their homes in 80 villages.

SEDIMENTARY EVIDENCE FAVOURING THE FORMATION OF ROGEN LANDSCAPES BY OUTBURST FLOODS John Shaw Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2E3 E-mail: John.Shaw@ualberta.ca ABSTRACT Rogen landscapes are defined by the morphology of the ridges and troughs and their locations in areas of former glaciation. They are transitional with hummocky and drumlin landscapes in associations of subglacial bedforms. This paper concentrates on the sediments within Rogen ridges and approaches their interpretation by way of the fundamental mechanics of high Reynolds Number flow beneath a wavy ice bed. The morphology, sedimentary characteristics and landscape associations of Rogen terrain are interpreted to record outburst flood from beneath the mid-latitude Pleistocene ice sheets. Analogous sediments to those in Rogen ridges are found around violently eruptive volcanoes and in areas inundated by outburst floods in modern environments. These sediments are deposited from highly turbulent, hyperconcentrated flows. Flood volumes of the order 10 km have implications for ice-sheet/climate/ocean interactions that are not recognized in present models. These implications are presented as speculations assuming the reality of outburst floods of huge magnitudes and short duration.
