The UA Land Surface Hydrology Group will present two posters about our recent studies. The first poster is entitled, "Dam Nation Revisited: The Prospective of Cumulative Hazard Potential and Preparedness (Poster#:PA31E-1074)". Junho Song will present this poster in the Poster Section, "PA31E: Ready for Tomorrow: Strategies for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure" on 11 December 2019 (Wed; 8am-12:20 pm). The second poster is entitled, "Spatiotemporal Patterns of National-scale Drought Awareness (Poster #:H13T-2056)". Sungyoon Kim will present this poster in the Poster Section, "H13T: Water and Society: Water Resources Management and Policy in a Changing World" on 9 December 2019 (Mon; 1:40 - 6:00 pm).
Oren Gary (AMP, Spring 2020) presented his poster about a comparison study of potential triggers of the public drought awareness during the recent droughts over California and Cape Town, using the Google Trend data and Google Searh. He found missing of political actions in Cape Town during the two recent droughts while governor's actions were key triggers of the public awareness over California. Sungyoon Kim, a PhD student, helped Oren's poster for scientific representation improvement. I am so proud of their work. During this coming summer break, Oren will leave for summer intern, and Sungyoon will continue this project. Good job, Oren and Sungyoon!
Dr. Kam gave an oral presentation during the 99th AMS Annual Meeting in Phoenix, AZ on January 10, 2019. This representation is based on his recent work on "Monitoring of Drought Awareness from Google Trends: A Case Study of the 2011-17 California Drought" (under review in the AMS journal Weather, Climate and Society). This study informs the value of social monitoring data (herein, Google Trends data) in understanding the dynamics of social response to different stages of the drought. This study is done through collaboration with Dr. Kimberly Stowers (Department of Management, U of Alabama) and his PhD student, Sungyoon Kim.
