Suicide Basin is a side basin of the Mendenhall Glacier above Juneau, Alaska. Since 2011, Suicide Basin has released glacier lake outburst floods that cause inundation along Mendenhall Lake and Mendenhall River. Video by the International Arctic Research Center.

Ecological Forestry in the Context of Climate Change Webinar Series Session 7 (rescheduled). Ecological Silviculture for Southern Appalachian Hardwood Forests presented by Tara Keyser, USDA Forest Service. This presentation discusses land-use history and disturbance, contemporary Appalachian hardwood forests, the importance of oak, and principles for managing change. Please note, this webinar was rescheduled from the original date (March 19, 2024) due to technical difficulties.

Climate Hubs Overview: Climate change presents threats to America’s farmers, ranchers, foresters, and communities across the country. The USDA Climate Hubs work across the U.S. to develop climate-smart solutions.

Hurricane Recovery: The USDA Climate Hub commodity-specific recovery guides help producers recover from hurricanes more quickly while minimizing crop and economic losses.

Urban Forest Management: The Urban Forest Climate and Health Adaptation Menu can be used to increase climate resilience in urban landscapes, providing benefits for both people and the planet. 

Wildfire Resilience: Fires are a complex challenge, and the USDA Climate Hubs are applying the best science and outreach to help all lands be more resilient.

Tribal Nation Engagement: The USDA Climate Hubs actively engage and collaborate with Tribal Nations and communities to provide climate tools and guidance that incorporate Tribal perspectives.  

Carbon sequestration: Farms and forests are powerful nature-based carbon sinks. USDA Climate Hubs tools can help increase climate resilience, enhance productivity, and maintain critical environmental benefits.

Risk Reduction with Grass-Cast: Grass-Cast is an online tool that helps land managers anticipate drought earlier and respond with flexibility and foresight.

Climate Education: Working alongside community partners, the USDA Climate Hubs are increasing climate literacy and empowering people to make climate-informed decisions on working lands across the country.
