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.

最近的研究预测，澳大利亚未来的干旱事件将更加频繁和严重。有效管理干旱风险需要及时和相关的科学信息，将科学咨询意见置于成功的国家干旱管理战略的核心。通过对美国和澳大利亚科学家在干旱政策中的作用进行比较，可以发现相互学习政策的潜力很大。这一研究项目还将加强与国际顶尖干旱研究人员的现有联系，并促进在干旱研究领域以及在考虑科学咨询意见在政策进程中的作用方面进一步开展国际合作的机会。
