Modelling tools are key to responding to different weather impacts and climatic events, but only if they keep up with change themselves. Li and colleagues (2024) looked at drought management tools in the US. What they found is that the tools aren’t keeping up to climate change. With extreme droughts becoming more and more common … Continue reading
