The 2009 U.S. Drought Monitor Forum will be at the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA)'s Redbud Center in Austin, Texas, October 7-8, sponsored by the National Drought Mitigation Center.
Each year the Drought Monitor forum alternates focus between the U.S. and North American monitors.
The forum provides a chance for Drought Monitor authors and users to talk about ways to improve the product. Emerging issues this year are likely to center on drought impacts and on tools that can provide input at finer resolution in space or in time.
It’s a chance for Drought Monitor authors, users, and drought researchers to meet with one another to refine the state of the art of drought monitoring. The forum is free and open to the public.
The final agenda is available.
Regular registration for this workshop is closed. Please contact Nicole Wall to see whether last-minute spaces have opened up.
Because there is no hotel at the Redbud Center, participants are free to select accommodations from the many possibilities that Austin offers. Here is a map showing the Center and some nearby hotels.
