1 GIDMaPS: A Drought Time Machine
BY Farshad Momtaz

2 A drought time machine Team members What is drought?
Why does drought matter? What does GIDMaPS do? How does GIDMaPS work? A look into the future Sponsors More information

3 Team members Assistant Professor Amir AghaKouchak, PhD
Shahrbanou Madadgar, PhD Z. Hao, PhD Ali Mehran, PhD Candidate Alireza Farahmand, PhD Student Omid Mazdiyasni, PhD Student

4 What is drought? Drought: Deficiency in Water Supply Meteorological
Precipitation Agricultural Soil Moisture

5 Why does drought matter?
Loss of crop yields and livestock Increase in global food prices Famine and loss of life Climate extreme with largest affect on population Economic damage of $6 - $8 Billion/Year

6 How to solve this problem?!
US Drought Monitoring System Drought Monitor for only the United States Human input and precipitation GIDMaPS

7 GIDMaps Global Integrated Drought Monitoring and Prediction System
Drought Prediction The only drought prediction system currently available Current conditions and long term climatological data to predict future droughts

8 How does it work? Multivariate Standardized Drought Index
Data Scan (NASA Satellites) NASA Servers GIDMaPS Servers Drought and Prediction algorithm Maps! Multivariate Standardized Drought Index Standardized Precipitation Index Standardized Soil Moisture Index

9 outcome Exceptional Wetness Extreme drought

10 Gidmaps Web A picture of a product is worth more than a thousand words!!

11 Gidmaps mobile

12 Future of drought GIDMaPS can help fight drought
Drought Monitoring Drought Prediction Faster data availability More accurate predictions
