Big floods triggered by climate change
by Researcher Thursday, Apr. 28, 2005 at 12:44 AM

Knox decided to look back -- way back ... the sediments from the Mississippi River beds ... evidence of flood activity as far back as 7,000 years ago.

"No, it doesn't take much of a change of climate to trigger a big change in the magnitude and the recurrence frequencies of flood events,"

James Knox, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies.
