The American Meteorological Society’s 103rd annual meeting is quickly approaching. The meeting, which will be held on January 8–12, 2023, in Denver, Colorado, will focus on the theme, "Data: Driving Science. Informing Decisions. Enriching Humanity.”
The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) is excited to co-chair several town halls and oral/poster sessions, which cover topics such as megadroughts in the western U.S., soil moisture data, drought analysis and prediction, service delivery lessons, and translating climate science into action.
In addition, NIDIS staff will give presentations on building drought resilience with Tribal Nations, the Southwest Drought Learning Network, the National Coordinated Soil Moisture Monitoring Network, and more.
