SNAP Maps Tool: Climate Visualizations
Climate Visualizations
SNAP is striving to implement useful climate data visualizations that make sense. The new map tool, with its interactive titles, forms the basis for future data and mapping enhancements.

Your Community: Community Climate Projection Charts
Your Community
Change affects people and communities. Our Community Charts tool allows you to look at how temperature and precipitation regimes will be altered over the next 100 years, across Alaska and Western Canada.

Landscape Connectivity
Landscape Connectivity
Utilizing climate projection data from SNAP, the Connecting Alaska Landscapes into the Future Project used selected species to identify areas of Alaska that may become important in maintaining landscape-level connectivity given a changing climate.

Downscaled Climate Projections
Downscaled Climate Projections
SNAP takes coarse resolution global climate model (GCM) data and downscales it to higher resolution. This makes it more useful for agencies and decision makers to plan for climate change.

SNAP

We develop plausible scenarios of future conditions through a diverse and varied network of people and organizations, which allow better planning for the uncertain future of Alaska and the Arctic.

What we do

SNAP is all about helping people plan in a changing climate. We work with a wide range of partners and collaborators on many projects to explore a range of possible futures based on the best scientific knowledge and data available. SNAP also strives to make our resources available and our methods known. SNAP has a strong partnership with ACCAP that allows us to leverage each other's strengths in order to inform a broad audience.
