520 _a"His [Bob Brakenridge] study of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1993 with remote-sensing data was the launching off point for what has become Brakenridge's passion for the last decade: creating a satellite-based, global atlas of flood hazards and putting the information into the hands of disaster relief and planning organizations." (EARTH OBSERVATORY) This article discusses Brakenridge's development of a "flood archive" that will help predict "when a flood is going to occur or how severe it will be."
