Extent of Fires on US Native Lands

About this Dashboard This data dashboard summarizes data from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) Dataset, which the USGS EROS and the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service jointly implemented. It highlights the distribution and impact of wildfires on Native lands between 1984 and 2022. The dashboard features detailed maps and interactive elements, allowing users […]

Renewable Energy Production on US Native Lands

About this Dashboard This dashboard features current renewable energy production (wind, solar, biomass, and hydroelectric) on US Native Lands. It combines data from two sources: (1) the NREL Biofuel Atlas 2019, which shows operable electric generating plants for wind, solar, and geothermal sources sourced from the Energy Information Administration (2017), and (2) “Tracking the Sun,” a […]

Environmental Risks for US Native Lands (Drought, Heat, Rain, Wildfire: 1980-2020)

About this Dashboard This dashboard shows key environmental risks data for US tribal lands to help tribes monitor and assess risks and incorporate them in their land planning and decision-making. Data comes from the recent article: Farrell, J., Burow, P. B., McConnell, K., Bayham, J., Whyte, K., & Koss, G. (2021). Effects of land dispossession […]

Conservation Reserve Program

About this Dashboard This data dashboard summarizes data from the USDA FSA conservation reserve program (CRP) for every eligible county in the United States since the program’s inception in 1986 (data for years 1987-2022). The data in this dashboard shows state and county averages in addition to yearly enrollment and rent totals. 0 Years of […]

Soil Organic Carbon for Land Planning on Native Lands

About this Dashboard This data dashboard summarizes past and present Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) data for all Native Lands but also future estimates depending on different agricultural scenarios. Data comes from the Soils Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) for past and most to date available values (2019 and 2021). For future scenarios, we used estimates from […]
