Welcome to SNAP, the Scenarios Network for Alaska Planning. We are a collaborative organization linking the University of Alaska, state, federal, and local agencies, and NGOs.

Our mission is to provide timely access to management-relevant scenarios of future conditions in Alaska.

Alaska is undergoing rapid changes in climate, human population and demands on natural resources. Future planning that accounts for these changes can reduce costs and liabilities.

SNAP scenarios and the data used to produce them will be openly available to all potential users. Stakeholders can access further SNAP network services and expertise by becoming a SNAP collaborator.

Services and products:

  • maps and projections of future conditions;
  • objective interpretations of projected scenarios, including ramifications for management decisions; and
  • detailed explanations of the assumptions, models, and methods, and uncertainties associated with projections.
