Authors: Margaret Herzog

The BIA Tribal Climate Resilience Program and Geospatial Services work jointly to assist 567 Tribes nationwide adapt to climate change. Support includes: Tribal Theme in the NASA Climate Data Initiative, Tribal Stories and Tools in the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit, Story Maps on ArcOnline, BIA GIS Web Portal products, and the Tribal Climate Resilience Resource Guide. We’ll also show how Tribes use GIS to improve change monitoring and restoration strategies towards more resilient landscapes.
