Dartmouth Flood Observatory. Project of Dartmouth College's Global Flood Monitoring and Analysis Project. The project emphasizes the use of flood images obtained from high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites. Using the images and information gleaned from other sources, this site provides "an evolving database of extreme flood events which have occurred in areas around the world since January 1, 1994."
