Introducing ecological drought as a scientific concept distinct from other definitions of drought, this webinar explores recent advances on the topic, including the transformational drought, drought vulnerabilities, and understanding the future of low-flows.
This is Webinar #1 in a five-part webinar series that seeks to raise awareness of ecological drought, share actions that strengthen ecosystem resilience and mitigate the impacts of droughts, and advancements in integrating interdisciplinary research and management needs for future drought planning and preparedness. The series is co-hosted by NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and the USGS National Climate Adaptation Science Center (NCASC), with expert speakers from the research community, tribal nations, and government agencies. Information shared will build on the NIDIS/NCASC 2021 National Ecological Drought Webinar Series.
Presentations and Speakers:
Drought as an emergent driver of ecological transformation in the twenty-first century
Wynne E Moss | USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center
A flexible data-driven approach to crafting drought vulnerability assessments for adaptation planning
Shelley Crausbay | USDA Forest Service
What goes with the flow: A review of linkages between climate change, low-flows, water quality, and instream flow management response across the United States
Charlotte Lee | USGS Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center
The 78th Annual Conference will be hosted by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Make plans now to join us October 12-16, 2024 at the Augusta Marriott at the Convention Center in Augusta, Georgia.
The Annual Conference of the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies is a forum for the exchange of ideas and critical information regarding the management and protection of fish and wildlife resources primarily in the Southeast. The conference attracts over 500 representatives from state and federal agencies, citizens' organizations, universities, private wildlife research groups, fisheries and wildlife scientists, agency enforcement personnel, and other natural resource-related organizations.
The Climate Leader is an online training in systems thinking to help fuel the global response to climate change. These materials will help you to be more effective at addressing climate change by enabling you to see the interconnections and big picture in your work. Behind the Climate Leader are decades of experience from the team at Climate Interactive and powerful ideas developed at MIT.

In this webinar series, practitioners will share information, results and lessons learned through recent work by FHWA/US DOT and State and MPO partners to make the transportation system more resilient to climate change and extreme weather events. The first track focuses on the processes used in the Gulf Coast Study, Phase 2 (Mobile) and transferable methods developed for other agencies to assess the vulnerability of transportation infrastructure. The second track focuses on FHWA's recently completed Climate Resilience Pilot program, which supported 19 pilot projects around the country to assess vulnerabilities and develop strategies to make transportation infrastructure and operations more resilient to climate change and extreme weather events.
