Ecological Drought in Southern California
This project is helping to build a regional understanding of the vulnerabilities and effects of ecological drought for conservation and natural resource management.
Southern California is an ecologically diverse region threatened by urbanization, water scarcity, and shifting wildfire frequency. As such, IEMM is working collaboratively with several partners to address these interrelated threats with a comprehensive drought preparedness and response strategy.
Funded by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grant from the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) program, the framework for this project consists of a four-pronged approach:
-
foster and support a community of practice
-
identify priority research needs and products
-
improve and increase accessibility of regionally relevant research
-
support strategic and science-informed decision making
