Model development for climate-driven impacts to berry resources in Alaska

USGS scientists Rachel Loehman, Nicole Herman-Mercer, and AK CASC’s Ryan Toohey worked with partners from the Chevak Traditional Council and Kotlik Tribal Council to collect local ecological and spatial data from long-term residents of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, as part of a project to develop ecological models and vulnerability assessments for climate-driven impacts to berry resources in the region.
