Project Summary

To go along with the interactive dashboard that TBEC created for the CRRC, a storymap was also created. The story map, titled “Generations of Change”, follows Lily, a 10-year-old living in Seward, the generations that preceded her, and the generations that will follow to analyze how climate change has and will impact Chugach communities. For each climatic variable, maps are shown depicting how each generation experienced the variable. The 1980s represent Lily’s grandparents and show what world they grew up in compared to Lily in the 2020’s and what Lily’s grandchildren will experience in the 2080’s.

​

While the dashboard is an interactive web app, the storymap delves deeper into each of the climate variables over 7 time periods. Images, stories, and additional maps are included to show how changes in these variables are affecting those living in Chugach communities. Traditional Ecological Knowledge was included in the storymap as first-hand accounts of how various changes in climate have been affecting these communities. The same climate data used for the dashboard was used to create maps for the storymap.
