Assessing Water-Resource Vulnerability
WEBINAR: February 23, 2026, 8:00AM - 9:00AM PT [CLOSED]
The National Association of Environmental Science and Management (NAESM) presents a groundbreaking webinar, "Assessing Water-Resource Vulnerability," focusing on advancing drought intelligence from monitoring to decision-relevant vulnerability assessment. This virtual session explores how satellite observations and AI-based modeling are transforming drought analysis from hazard-focused monitoring to impact-centered assessment.
Session Highlights:
- Real-time drought monitoring & seasonal prediction using AI-based algorithms
- Expanding drought information to include impact & vulnerability data
- Linking hydroclimate conditions to physical & societal outcomes
- Examples including crop yield losses, food insecurity, & energy disruptions
- Challenges in drought impact records & local water management data
- Anthropogenic drought as a coupled climate-human phenomenon
