Post-truth is a slippery synthesis of knowledge claims, science, activism, politics and media.; it represents an uncomfortable shift in how our society produces and validates geographic reality. This presentation introduces a multidisciplinary framework based on identity, meaning, transfer and appropriation. The framework is grounded in GIScience and illustrated with cases of post-truth GIS opportunity and disruption in the Pacific Northwest related to shoreline management, best available science, citizen activism and institutional collaboration. Finally, we propose a stance for building post-truth resilient GIS shifting from defensive accuracy to proactive understanding through transparency, epistemic scaffolding, and methodological provenance, coupled with the cultivation of distributed networks for knowledge transfer.
