Funded Activity Summary

The role of science in the policy process: responding to drought in Australia and the USA. Recent research has predicted more frequent and increasingly severe drought events for Australia in the future. Effective management of drought risk requires timely and relevant scientific information, placing scientific advice at the heart of a successful national drought management strategy. There is considerable potential for mutual policy learning as a result of a comparison of the role of scientists in drought policy in the US and Australia. This research project will also strengthen existing ties with top international drought researchers and promote opportunities for further international collaboration in the field of drought research and also in the consideration of the role of scientific advice in the policy process.
