• High and dry : institutional impediments to effective drought management and relief in the 1995-96 and 1998 Oklahoma droughts

  by Carlie Lawson My exceedingly nerdy thesis which my co-chairs kindly told me was more in-depth than most dissertations they had read. My co-chairs were Dr. Mark Meo and Dr. Richard Marshment, so their not so joking joke meant a lot. You can get this from a few libraries including OU's Bizzell, The Architecture Library and OU's Law Library. This tome provides a historical account of the 1996, 1997 and 1998 droughts and wildfire outbreaks and the flood interspersed between two of the droughts and an analysis of the mitigation techniques used at the federal, state and local levels. It also provides recommendations for mitigation improvements. This is really not light reading and not for the faint of heart. If you want to learn about the OK Mesonet, the HayNet or J.D. Carlson's fire danger model, this is the book for you! Interlibrary loan is your friend.
