The Drought Risk Analysis Forecasting and Assessment under Climate Change

This Special Issue is a platform to fill the gaps in drought risk analysis with field experience and expertise. It covers (1) robust index development for effective drought monitoring; (2) risk analysis framework development and early warning systems; (3) impact investigations on hydrological and agricultural sectors; (4) environmental change impact analyses. The articles in the Special Issue cover a wide geographic range across China Taiwan Korea and the Indo-China peninsula which covers many contrasting climate conditions. Hence the results have global implications: the data analysis/modeling methodologies and conclusions lay a solid foundation for enhancing our scientific knowledge of drought mechanisms and relationships to various environmental conditions.
