ACRE is organizing a 3-day ACRE meeting on the island of Corfu in Greece to discuss droughts and floods. These enhance stresses and induces wide ranging impacts across both natural ecosystems and human societies, with losses of life, habitat, drinking water and food production. However, the great bulk of drought and flood studies have focused on events that occurred since the 1950s, or that are defined with limited weather and/or climate observations. Thus we need a far better analysis system that uses newly recovered observations and more fully captures long-term historical fluctuations and intensities of drought and flood histories.
