We hosted our first FDRI community research workshop at the University of Bristol on 'Catchment processes during drought' on the 21 November 2024.
This workshop was co-organised by Gemma Coxon (FDRI Capacity Building lead, University of Bristol) and Stuart Allen (Environment Agency) with 48 attendees from a range of organisations, including universities, funders, regulators, environmental consultancies and water companies. We had several presentations addressing key knowledge gaps in our understanding of drought processes spanning atmosphere, land, hydrology and people.
We discussed opportunities for future drought research, including synergies with FDRI.
A short report will be available in the spring.
