U.S. Drought Monitor Forum in Portland, Oregon, October 10-12

Authors and users of the U.S. Drought Monitor -- http://drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.html -- will convene in Portland, Oregon, October 10-12, to discuss user needs and modifications to the tool. The U.S. Drought Monitor Forum is held every other year. Although the scope of the tool is national, the venue will provide an opportunity to focus on the drought-monitoring needs of the Pacific Northwest, such as viticulture.

Registration is free, but facilities are limited, so please sign up early to ensure that there will be room. On-line registration will be available soon, but until then, you can reserve a spot by e-mailing Ann Fiedler, afiedler2@unl.edu, expressing your intent to attend, and including your name and full contact information. Details on the location will be available in the near future.
