NIDIS-Supported Research
Main Summary

This research is a capstone project led by graduate students within the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder's Masters of the Environment (MENV) program. The project examines the drought information needs of land use planners, so we can better understand how developers and investors are incorporating drought risk into portfolio construction and development decisions.
