This spatial layer displays Range Tenures (grazing and hay cutting licence and permits) administered by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. A Range Tenure is an area of Crown rangeland where a Range Act tenure applies. Tenure holders access a defined amount of forage through grazing (measured in Animal Unit Months) or hay (tonnage). Range Tenures apply only to Crown Land. In some cases, digital boundaries may overlap Private Land but these lands are not part of the Grazing area (as described in the legal description). Grazing may overlap waterbodies during drawdown (also described legally in the Tenure documents and where applicable, Range Use Plan). Livestock may graze islands and large bodies of water may act as Natural Range Barriers. March 3, 2023: Updates to the Range Tenure attribute table as described. Please contact Nancy.Elliot@gov.bc.ca if you have questions. To guide your use: 1. Layer contains RETIRED, PENDING, and ACTIVE Tenures (=Licenses and Permits); Select ACTIVE under attribute LIFE_CYCLE_STATUS_CODE to isolate all active tenures (status refers to spatial boundary status - therefore, a spatial boundary must be Retired in the Forest Tenure Administration system to have a status of retired); 2. Unique ID for Polygon is by RAN# in attribute FOREST_FILE_ID. Each tenure has own its RAN# (e.g. RAN07777). Multiple areas (polygons) belonging to the same tenure may have same RAN# with unique map block ids (e.g. RAN07777 A, RAN07777 B) 3. The field SUM_TENURE_ACTIVE_AREA_HA will provide, where LIFE_CYCLE_STATUS_CODE is ACTIVE, the total tenure area in Ha. For single block (polygon) tenures, this will be the same area as the polygon. Where there are multiple blocks, this will be the total sum area of all Active blocks. (Note this does not include PENDING or RETIRED tenure areas. Area is for Approved and Active Tenure boundaries. A block may be Approved but Pending, and therefore is not included). Review data for multipart vs multi polygons 4. AUTHORIZED_USE and TOTAL_ANNUAL_USE are for the entire Tenure; where there are multiple blocks, the total is over all blocks, seasonally distributed through different pastures 3. FILE_TYPE_CODE contains information on the type of Permit: • E01 - Grazing License • E02 - Grazing Permit • H01 - Haycutting License • H02 - Haycutting Permit 4. IF YOU ARE DOING SPATIAL ANALYSIS based on AREA --- Please note that tenures overlap either partially or wholly amongst tenure holders. One area may be shared by more than one Tenure holder and therefore there will be multiple congruent or partially overlapping polygons (multipart). If you want to do SPATIAL ANALYSIS based strictly on area, you must collapse or flatten the data using DISSOLVE so that the polygons are 1:1 with the land base (suggested approach)

The maps show a multiyear ground deformation rate caused by small-scale deformation processes in Canada, measured in meters per year. Horizontal-east and vertical deformation components were computed from data acquired on ascending and descending orbits. This horizontal-east/vertical 2D decomposition is approximate and assumes constant viewing geometry and the absence of horizontal-north deformation.In the line-of-sight (LOS) map computed from ascending orbit data, a negative signal approximately corresponds to either subsidence or eastward motion, while a positive signal corresponds to uplift or westward motion. In the LOS map computed from descending orbit data, a negative signal approximately corresponds to either subsidence or westward motion, while a positive signal corresponds to uplift or eastward motion.In the horizontal-east map, a negative signal corresponds to westward motion, while a positive signal corresponds to eastward motion. In the vertical map, a negative signal indicates subsidence, while a positive signal indicates uplift.The maps were calculated from Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar data collected between 2017 and 2024 during the snow-free season. Interferometric analysis of Sentinel-1 data was performed using GAMMA Software (https://www.gamma-rs.ch), and the long-term deformation rate was computed with the Multidimensional Small Baseline Subset (MSBAS) Software Version 10 (https://doi.org/10.1080/07038992.2024.2424753) at the Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation, Natural Resources Canada.Long-wavelength signals caused by postglacial rebound and tectonic motion were filtered to enhance the visibility of small-scale deformation processes, such as those originating from landslides and mining. Field studies have confirmed only a few of these processes to date. The maps are expected to contain processing artifacts, which will be addressed in future work.References:Samsonov, S.

Forest Elevation(Ht) Mean 2015Mean height of lidar first returns (m). Represents the mean canopy height. It is developed within the framework of Canada’s National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (NTEMS). Products relating the structure of Canada's forested ecosystems have been generated and made openly accessible. The shared products are based upon peer-reviewed science and relate aspects of forest structure including: (i) metrics calculated directly from the lidar point cloud with heights normalized to heights above the ground surface (e.g., canopy cover, height), and (ii) modelled inventory attributes, derived using an area-based approach generated by using co-located ground plot and ALS data (e.g., volume, biomass). Forest structure estimates were generated by combining information from lidar plots (Wulder et al. 2012) with Landsat pixel-based composites (White et al. 2014; Hermosilla et al. 2016) using a nearest neighbour imputation approach with a Random Forests-based distance metric. These products were generated for strategic-level forest monitoring information needs and are not intended to support operational-level forest management. All products have a spatial resolution of 30 m. For a detailed description of the data, methods applied, and accuracy assessment results see Matasci et al. (2018).

Faults in the valleys near Ottawa could rupture and produce strong, shallow earthquakes. This magnitude 5.5 scenario visualizes the effects of such an event. It does not represent the most severe earthquake that could occur, but one that is more likely and could still cause damage.

The Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin was designed primarily as a reference volume documenting the subsurface geology of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This GIS dataset is one of a collection of shapefiles representing part of Chapter 9 of the Atlas, Middle Ordovician to Lower Devonian Strata of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Figure 22, Ordovician-Silurian Subcrop/Outcrop Williston Basin. Shapefiles were produced from archived digital files created by the Alberta Geological Survey in the mid-1990s, and edited in 2005-06 to correct, attribute and consolidate the data into single files by feature type and by figure.

This dataset compiles information and photographs collected at 49 observation stations during a field campaign conducted from July 31 to August 11, 2025, in the central part of the Kivalliq region. It includes the locations of sites where ice-flow indicators were measured, along with their relative chronology where it could be determined in the field.It also includes the locations of till sampling sites collected for geochemical and indicator mineral analyses, as well as sites where boulders and bedrock surfaces were sampled for terrestrial cosmogenic isotope dating.Analytical results and interpretations will be presented in subsequent publications.
