Do floods correlate well with the climate there, or are they affected by something else, too? If they are not much affected, then that could be a dataset indeed

Indeed they could, any core sample of the earth could, and long has, been a record of climatic conditions.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
