This NIDIS-funded study, led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder/Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), found that future hydrologic droughts are projected to become more severe and prolonged through the 21st century. This includes more frequent multi-year droughts. These storylines play out differently under different emissions scenarios, but seasonal shifts in drought timing were prominent in northern latitudes across all future scenarios.
