Dear colleagues,

This piece on mega-droughts and a large-scale drought experiment is likely
to be of interest:

https://theconversation.com/godzilla-el-nino-time-to-prepare-for-mega-droughts-46673

Could you please forward to anyone who’d likely be interested?

Apologies for any cross-postings.

Thanks much,

Bill
