Small gravitational tugs from waterlogged river basins could give scientists a big advantage in predicting devastating floods according to new research. They looked at data from GRACE, a duo of NASA satellites that detect small changes in Earth's gravity. As a river basin soaks up water, the satellites record a stronger gravitational pull. Wetter ground is more liable to flood when hit by a surge of rain or snowmelt. [Source: Science News]
