Tribal Climate Change Guide

The Tribal Climate Change Guide is part of the Pacific Northwest Tribal Climate Change Project (TCCP). The TCCP is part of the L.I.G.H.T. Foundation (LF), is an independent, Indigenous-led, conservation 501(c)(3) nonprofit established on the Colville Indian Reservation in the traditional territory of the Nespelem Tribe in present-day north central Washington State. LF supports the restoration and cultivation of native Plant and Pollinator Relatives and the culturally respectful conservation of habitats and ecosystems which are climate resilient and adaptive.

Description

"Coastal geomorphic change results from sea-level rise and relative sea-level lowering associated with land rebound (postglacial isostatic rebound) subsequent to glacier retreat (Elliot et al., 2010; Larsen et al., 2005; Snay et al., 2016), along with other processes. Although sea-level rise is a noted climatic change threatening community viability (Hauer, Evans, and Mishra, 2016; Pachauri et al., 2014), effects of isostatic rebound may also be significant (Kont et al., 2008; Reeder-Myers et al., 2015)."
