Alaska Tribal Resilience Learning Network
The Alaska Tribal Resilience Learning Network (AK TRLN) is a community of learning, sharing, technical assistance, training, and support for Alaska Tribes, Leadership, and Indigenous communities as they respond and adapt to the current and future impacts of climate change.
Through a cooperative agreement with the Native American Fish and Wildlife Society, the Learning Network works to build collaborative and meaningful relationships with Alaska Native Tribes and other entities in order to address management and adaptation needs across the state.
This system of support is designed for Alaska Tribes and Indigenous communities that are working towards their climate adaptation priorities, especially those that have received BIA Tribal Resilience Program funding. Alaska Tribes and Indigenous communities working on their Tribal climate adaptation plan are encouraged to participate in the learning network.

Coastal Flood Mapping and Planning: Part III
The session circles back to previous conversations from May and September 2024 focused on coastal mapping and decision making for City of Unalakleet. We will hear from coastal neighbors in the Norton Sound region (speaker TBD) about community planning for changing coastal flood conditions. We will also get an update from the U.S. Geological Survey about coastal flood mapping and web tools to support community planning, as well as examples of how the information can be applied. Flood maps focused on future conditions (incorporating sea-level rise and storm scenarios) are now available for Unalakleet, Golovin, Elim, and Utqiagvik, and will be completed for an additional 10-13 communities along the west coast of Alaska in 2026.
Speakers:
Maya Hayden: USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, Director of Outreach and Engagement
Li Erikson: USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, Research Oceanographer
Norton Sound Community Speaker: TBD
