The goal of this webinar is to provide initial background and scientific background for understanding the challenges of drought assessment in the face of climate change, including the current state of the science and common terms (e.g., drought assessment drought, aridification or drought), and an understanding of what is at stake when drought assessment does not keep pace with a rapidly changing climate.

This presentation, by Brian Fuchs of the National Drought Mitigation Center, explained how to assess drought today using the US Drought Monitor.
