The Climate Adaptation Science Center (CASC) Network has chosen the emerging climate science field of Ecological Drought as a research focus area. The U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) falls within the domain of the Pacific Islands CASC. This workshop was an add-on to the eight Ecological Drought Workshops (each hosted by a different CASC), so that additional attention could be directed towards the topic of drought in island environments, and the unique challenges that drought poses to island communities.
