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.
