Overview

This tool is designed to help tribes in the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin, U.S.A, understand how the climate is expected to change in places that they care about. It provides maps, graphs, tables and descriptions of projected changes. The dynamic mapping interface uses the best available science from climate projections and provides a straightforward way for tribes to visualize and understand local climate projections.

The areas of interest (e.g., ceded areas, watersheds) included in this tool reflect results of outreach to Northwest and Great Basin tribes, as well as tribally-relevant areas in the public domain (e.g., reservations). These areas are shown for educational purposes only and are not intended to be legally binding. If there is an area of interest for your tribe that you would like removed, revised, or added to the tool, please contact us at [email protected].

The tool works best when viewed in Chrome.

This tool was created with funding from the Northwest Climate Science Center and the Great Basin Landscape Conservation Cooperative.

The Climate Impacts Group (CIG) is an internationally recognized interdisciplinary research group studying the impacts of natural climate variability and global climate change (“global warming”). Research at the CIG considers climate impacts at spatial scales ranging from local communities to the entire western U.S. region, with most work focused on the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Through research and interaction with stakeholders, the CIG works to increase community and ecosystem resilience to fluctuations in climate.
