This consensus study committee will consider approaches to understanding and assessing drought in the United States. This review will encompass data sources, metrics, and indicators for characterizing drought in the context of changing drought baselines and trends. The committee will recommend a framework for incorporating non-stationarity considerations into drought assessment in a changing climate, for use across a range of geographic regions and of spatial and temporal scales and to inform decision-making for short-term risk management and long-term adaptation.
