NOAA Three-Minute Thesis Webinar on Drought
On Friday, September 9, 2022, the NOAA Regional Collaboration Network hosted a special webinar designed to share experiences and information about NOAA’s role related to drought. From learning about the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), to understanding flash drought, or how drought relates to salmon recovery—attendees heard straight from the experts on a wide array of drought-related topics! In addition, presenters addressed questions from the audience.
What’s a Three-Minute Thesis Webinar? Borrowing from a format used by universities across the country, colleagues from NOAA each had one slide and three minutes to present on a specific topic, listed below.
A recording of the webinar and additional web resources are now available on the Three-Minute Thesis Recordings Archive page.
