It provides the knowledge and tools necessary to understand the causes and impacts of drought, predict its occurrence, and implement practical measures to mitigate its effects. The book begins with an in-depth review of fundamental drought theory followed by a closer examination of related aspects like social behavior, food security, health, climate, sediment, architecture, and education. Next is a close look at geography information systems including data assessment, models, maps, and visualizations. The editors then explore drought management along with community resilience, adaptation, policy, and the economy. New trends in drought studies are presented including the latest practical technologies and the use of artificial intelligence. Lastly, a series of detailed case studies offers practical insights on data assessment, modeling, experimental studies, and climate change. The editors and contributing authors offer this resource to help build resilience and sustainability in the face of one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
• Advances drought dynamic understanding as well as climate change adaptation strategies via interdisciplinary perspectives.
