Drought paper and interview on The Weather Channel

This morning I gave an interview on The Weather Channel!   Much of the southwest U.S. is currently in drought, and I was lead author on a recent paper in Science Advances which looks at U.S. drought over the past 1000 years.  We found that while some drought is linked to La Nina, much past variability appears to be the result of atmospheric variability.  This work was done with colleagues at the University of Southern California, University of Washington, and Columbia University.  Check it out!
