Forest Change and Climate Sensitivity across the Chuska Mountains and Defiance Plateau

The Navajo forest landscape is experiencing an increasing likelihood of extreme climate conditions, including warming temperatures and drought stress. The forest plays a vital role in Diné livelihoods through social, cultural, spiritual, subsistence, and economic aspects. Jaime Yazzie will discuss lessons learned and reflections on climate change projects focused on forests of the Navajo (Diné) Nation.

Jaime received her Bachelors from the University of Washington and Master of Science in Forestry from Northern Arizona University. She currently works as a forestry consultant with the Laboratory of Tree Ring Research, leading two fieldwork seasons and supporting project analysis.
