GIS for Resilience

• Analyze trends and risks under changing conditions

• Identify vulnerable assets: high loss of likely probability

• Seek options with low economic, enviro impacts

• Work towards longer term solutions, build capacity

GIS Methods

• GOOGLE EARTH imagery, imported and georeferenced into ArcMAP

• Digitized the forest matrix, performed a color based maximum likelihood classification using 11 supervised classes

• 4 for prairie complexes, 2 for oak, 2 for shadows, 1 for cedar and 2 for human structures like roads an houses

Eastern redcedar increases wildfire intensity with volatile oils

Choke off crop and pastureland and reduce water supplies

Control methods: mowing, cutting young, prescribed burns, goat grazing, seek registry assistance or timber, energy, or oil options

Project Description:

1) Work with tribal partners to identify climate vulnerability in arid western tribal lands

2) Enhance the co‐production of knowledge on climate impacts

3) Identify climate science needs, educational opportunities, and foster new partnerships

Extreme weather Flood event

Drought impacts

Pinyon pine die‐off





Results:

1) Identified key factors associated with climate resilience

2) Developed vulnerability index for 72 western tribes

3) Webinar series for utilizing data in local climate assessments
