When
9 – 10 a.m., Feb. 23, 2026
Where
In this webinar, AccelNet PEER2PEER Co-Principal Investigator, Dr. AghaKouchak, will introduce a real-time drought monitoring and seasonal prediction system that integrates diverse data streams with AI-based algorithms for drought forecasting. He will also discuss how drought intelligence can be expanded beyond traditional metrics by incorporating impact and vulnerability data—linking hydroclimate conditions to real-world outcomes such as crop yield losses, food insecurity, energy disruptions, and labor impacts. The presentation will highlight key challenges to operationalizing impact-based drought assessment and explore drought as a coupled climate–human phenomenon.
