Welcome

Welcome to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Climate and Remote Sensing Data Reports website — a dedicated platform designed to serve the specific needs of BLM staff and partners by providing reliable and consistent summaries of drought and vegetation conditions for all BLM state, district, and field offices.

One of the website's objectives is to improve accessibility to large climate and satellite-based vegetation datasets to support adaptive management and decision making by providing downloadable PNG and PDF files. It is essential to emphasize that these reports should not be viewed in isolation. They should be considered alongside other sources of information to ensure a comprehensive assessment of factors such as drought severity and impacts, vegetation condition and trends, and related processes.

The BLM Rangeland Condition Reports website is the outcome of the collaborative ClimateEngine.org initiative, jointly led by the Desert Research Institute and the University of California-Merced, in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management. Additionally, NOAA's National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) has been integral in the development of ClimateEngine.org and the drought metrics provided through the reports. Our collective objective is to provide BLM staff and partners with a reliable resource for supporting decision-making in the realm of rangeland management and conservation.
