Abstract

Drought affects virtually all regions of the world and results in significant economic, social, and environmental impacts. The Federal Emergency Management Agency estimates annual drought-related losses in the United States at $6-8 billion, which is more than any other natural hazard. Congress enacted the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 to encourage the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Risk Management Agency (RMA) and farmers to be more proactive in managing drought risk.

Geospatial decision support for drought risk management

Drought affects virtually all regions of the world and results in significant economic, social, and environmental impacts. The Federal Emergency Management Agency estimates annual drought-related losses in the U.S. at $6--$8 billion, which is more than ...
A GIS-based decision support system for risk assessment of wind damage in forest management

In this study a GIS-based decision support system (DSS) was built for assessing the short- and long-term risk of wind damage in boreal forests. This was done by integrating a forest growth model SIMA and a mechanistic wind damage model HWIND into ...
Agricultural drought monitoring using MODIS-based drought indices over the USA Corn Belt

In 2012, the USA Corn Belt, an intensive agricultural region of the USA, was hit by a widespread severe drought, affecting states such as Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Indiana. In this study, time series 2000–2012 of Moderate Resolution Imaging ...
