Drought
Droughts of the future will be hotter, longer-lasting, and larger than droughts of the past. CASC researchers are working to understand how these droughts will impact important natural resources across the country. Learn more about this work below.
Research Highlights
The CASC network produces knowledge and tools to understand drivers of droughts and to help communities and ecosystems across the country adapt to water stress. Learn about major drought research topics and discover CASC research highlights here.
Ecological Drought
In collaboration with all 8 regional CASCs and NGO partners, the NCASC launched a working group to learn about how modern droughts affect ecosystems and wildlife across the country.
Island Drought
Droughts on islands affect nearly all sectors of society and the environment. The CASCs work with partners to identify key threats, challenges, and manamagent needs related to drought in the U.S. Caribbean and U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands.
