[SEMCO] Science Pub Presentation: Tribal Nations and Indigenous Communities - Climate Change Adaptation, Planning, and Resilience

[Kristin Bullett]

Now in its ninth year, Science Pub is a virtual speaker series hosted by
the Linda Loring Nature Foundation to connect people with real-world
science and research. Guest speakers present their work in an informal and
relaxed setting where questions and discussion are encouraged!

On April 24, we are hosting *Casey Thornbrugh, Ph.D.*,  an Indigenous
Geographer with a background in Climate Science.


*PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION*: Tribal Nations and Indigenous Communities have
witnessed changes in the climate from time immemorial.  However,
anthropogenic climate change coupled with the impacts of colonization pose
unique challenges for Tribal Nations.  Despite these challenges, Tribal
Nations are leading the way in climate change adaptation planning and
resilience.

*This talk will provide geographic background and political status of
Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities in the U.S. with an emphasis on
the East Coast and coastal Indigenous communities. It will then discuss
climate change impacts and concerns of Tribal Nations in addition to
sharing some examples of Tribal-led climate change adaptation.  The talk
will conclude with comments on examples of respectful engagement with
Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities in the space of climate change
adaptation and building partnerships.  *


*MORE ABOUT CASEY:*  Casey has a Ph.D. in Geography from the University of
Arizona and is a citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.  Casey taught
geography and climate science courses both at the University of Arizona and
at Tohono O’odham Community College, a Tribal College serving the Tohono
O’odham Nation.  Upon completion of his Ph.D., Casey returned home to work
as the Natural Resources Director for his Tribal Nation, the Mashpee
Wampanoag Tribe until 2017.  Over the past six years Casey has worked as a

working with the Bureau of Indian Affairs Tribal Climate Resilience Branch
(BIA-TCR) and the Northeast and Southeast Climate Adaptation Science
Centers (NE/SE CASC).  In this role, he has worked with agencies and
departments of Tribal Nations to provide climate science information,
identify climate research needs and priorities, and offer climate
adaptation planning support.  Casey is also serving as a co-author on the
Fifth National Climate Assessment – Northeast Chapter.
