Event Description: The International Drought Experiment (IDE) was initiated in 2013 as part of the Drought-Net Research Coordination Network funded by the US National Science Foundation. Drought-Net is a global network of researchers committed to understanding how terrestrial ecosystems respond to extreme drought. Amid the COVID19 pandemic, most network meetings have taken place online. Thus, the Drought-Net Social Hour offers an opportunity for network members and other conference participants to connect in person. This event will bring together people interested in networking with researchers from around the world studying the effects of drought on terrestrial ecosystems. Group Name: Drought-Net
