Floods: Where Will the Water Lie?

My next few posts are going to be based around flooding. The posts will be interspersed with commentary around the current state of research, evidence of flooding through the Holocene, and what the future holds for human populations facing the flood hazard.

To kick things off here's a video of the destructiveness of floods when they are at their most severe. The Pakistan floods of 2010 were some of the worst in recent years. When you watch the video, start to think about what may cause such a set of events, how can we protect ourselves against the power of water, and what might the implications of anthropogenic climate change be?
