On Wednesday July 31, Jessica Driscoll (RMR), Adrian Monroe (FORT), Sharon Hausam (SC CASC), and Mike Johnson (NM) are leading a listening session with natural resource professionals from the Pueblo of Acoma to better understand their challenges and science needs related to drought risk.
This event is the result of an effort initiated in 2023 with support from the USGS Risk Community of Practice and the Actionable and Strategic Integrated Science and Technology (ASIST) initiative to build and strengthen partnerships between Tribal members and USGS scientists for co-producing actionable science that benefits communities in the Southwest.

Colorado River Basin: Actionable and Strategic Integrated Science and Technology
The Colorado River Basin is currently experiencing its worst drought in recorded history. The period from 2000 through 2020 is the driest 21-year period in over 100 years and one of the driest periods in the 1,200-year paleo-record. Drought impacts include worsening conditions in the 9 ecoregions, including habitat for several threatened and endangered species, wildland fire risks, reduced...
