Drought and Water Scarcity Special Issue

The Frontiers Research Topic aims to consolidate cutting-edge, international research on drought and water scarcity from the About Drought programme, highlighting critical gaps in understanding and setting urgent priorities for research and action, providing an international platform for generating an integrated, systems perspective on this complex, multidimensional and socially constructed environmental hazard. Although this Research Topic builds on contributions from the international About Drought 2019 Conference (Pembroke College, University of Oxford, 20-21 March 2019), and the About Drought programme, the special issue is open to the international drought research community, for papers that reflect international diversity in responding to this significant global hazard. The special issue is open-access allowing all to access the articles.

There are already six articles published in the Frontiers Research Topic, which are listed below and more are due to be added over winter 2020/2021. There is more information on the Research Topic webpage.
