2022 was an unprecedented #drought year for countries around the world, including the U.S. Throughout it all, the Drought Center expanded our partnerships and created new tools to increase drought #resilience and preparedness at every level, from the grassroots to global.

#Introduction

We're the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. We host the U.S. #DroughtMonitor, the nation's leading resource to track drought conditions.

Our mission is to reduce the effects of #drought on people, the #environment, and the economy with cutting-edge #science and thoughtful #EnvironmentalPlanning.

Follow for analyses of #weather and #climate data, updates on #drought conditions, and organizational news.

I'm looking for more #academics to follow! Just interest, no specific agenda.

Looking particularly for scholars of:

1. #Urbanisation/ #Urbanization (Esp. #Asia and #India)

2. #Infrastructure

3. #Planning (#RegionalPlanning or #UrbanPlanning)

4. #Environment/ #EnvironmentalStudies/ #EnvironmentalPlanning/ #EnvironmentalHistory
(Asia for now, particularly #SouthAsia)

5. #ResearchMethods (particularly #MixedMethods)

Thank you and feel free to follow me in return :)
