Drought & Climate Research
Drought and Climate Research enhances our understanding of these complex phenomena. This can lead to improved drought forecasting, effective drought mitigation planning and implementation as well as formulation of climate change adaptation strategies to deal with with the impacts of climate change on an island community.
