Geochronology is a discipline of geoscience which measures the age of earth materials and provides the temporal framework in which other geoscience data can be interpreted in the context of Earth history.

This is a landscape level GIS coverage of large fires within the Yukon, spanning a period from 1946 to present. Original polygon size was limited to 200 hectares, when the first edition of this dataset was completed in 1997. Smaller fires are now being included, especially near communities. It is important to note that in most instances, fire perimeters only were mapped. This means that unburned areas within the perimeter are not accounted for, either in an ecological context or in annual area burned summaries. More recent fires mapped, with the aid of satellite technology may include large unburned patches.Although the temporal scale of the coverage goes back to late 1940's, Yukon-wide fire detection capability was not fully developed until the 1960's. In addition to this, access to regular aerial mapping was not readily available until that same time period. As a result many fires in the 40's and 50's were simply not recorded or poorly mapped, particularly in the north. For that reason, care must be taken when drawing conclusions from these data as it relates to the early years.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

>Warning: as of June 2020, this dataset is no longer updated and has been replaced. Please see https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/fr/dataset/evenements-de-securite-civile for data on civil security events since June 2020. This database brings together in a structured way information related to past claims that have been systematically grouped and centralized by the Ministry of Public Security (MSP). The consequences and evolution of the events are documented and they have been categorized according to their level of impact on the safety of citizens, goods and services to the population based on criteria defined in the Canadian profile of the Common Alert Protocol. It is updated continuously by the MSP Operations Department (DO). This database will allow analyses to be carried out at regional and local levels and can be used by municipalities in the implementation of their emergency measures plans.The event history archives come from event reports and status reports that were produced by the Government Operations Center (COG) and by the regional directorates of the MSP. Among other things, we find: 1- Observations entered directly into the Geoportal by the civil security advisers of the regional directorates; 2- A compilation of information recorded in COG event reports and DO status reports distributed to MSP partners since 1996; 3- A compilation of the information contained in the files of the regional directorates. This can be information on paper, event reports or field visits, paper or digital maps, etc. The information in this database is consistent with the Canadian Common Alert Protocol Profile (PC-PAC). The PC-PAC is a set of rules and controlled values that support the translation and composition of a message to make it possible to send it by different means and from different sources. The severity level is an attribute defined in the PC-PAC. It is used to characterize the severity level of the event based on the harm to the lives of people or damage to property. This severity level is defined by the following characteristics: Extreme: an extraordinary threat to life or property; Significant: significant threat to life or property; Moderate: possible threat to life or property; Minor: a low or non-existent threat to life or property; Unknown: unknown severity, used for example during tests and exercises. The emergency level is determined based on the reactive measures that need to be taken in response to the current situation. It is defined by the following characteristics:Immediate: reactive action must be taken immediately;Expected: reactive action should be taken soon (within the next hour);Future: reactive action should be taken in the near future;Past: a reactive measure is no longer necessary;Unknown: Unknown emergency, to be used during tests and exercises.The state relates to the context of the event, real or simulated. It is defined by the following characteristics:Current: information on a real event or situation;Exercise: fictional or real information produced as part of a civil security exercise;Test: technical tests only; to be ignored by all. Confidence is defined by the following characteristics:Observed: would have happened or is currently taking place;Probable: probability of the event happening > 50%;Possible: probability of the event happening < 50%;Unlikely: probability of the event happening around 0%;Unknown: certainty unknown.When an event date was not known, the year 1900-01-01 was recorded.DESCRIPTION OF ATTRIBUTES:Observation date: date of the event or observation; Type: name of the hazard;Name: name of the municipality;Municipality code: municipal code;State and certainty: as these are real events, the state is generally “current” and the certainty is generally “observed”;Urgency: the term “past” has generally been used for events that occurred before compilation work was carried out;Imprecision: imprecision in data (the date of the event, its location, the source of the data or no inaccuracy noted).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Historic placer mining areas in Yukon can be grouped into ten areas: Klondike; Sixtymile; Fortymile; Clear Creek; Moosehorn Range; Stewart River; Whitehorse South; Mayo; Dawson Range and Livingstone Creek. Each area has its own geomorphic setting and depositional history which is related to its glacial history. Several Quaternary glacial advances have been described in Yukon, and these are generally divided into three episodes, commonly known as the pre-Reid, Reid and McConnell, in order of oldest to most recent.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

This report outlines the results of a project that created a series of maps tracking inshore historical Lobster fishing district boundaries from 1899 to present. This work has been part of Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO) Blue Economy Lobster Team (BELT) pilot project on the Lobster fishery. To provide the context for the use of historical information within fisheries research, this report provides a brief summation of the discipline of history, its purpose, and its methods. It also describes the different ways that historical data has been used to support the analysis of fisheries, and some of the ways that historians have integrated the techniques of natural and social sciences into their own work. It provides an overview of how the BELT has incorporated historical methods and methodologies into the team’s overall work. The report presents two sets of maps that outline geographical changes in Lobster fishing districts (called Lobster Fishing Areas after 1985) as well as changes in minimum legal size (MLS) and season length information. These maps help to inform a larger understanding of the historical Lobster fishery in the present-day Maritimes Region, and highlight several themes within the fishery. This includes the increasingly intensive regulation of the fishery over time, the inshore nature of the Lobster fishery for the majority of the twentieth century, the variability in the boundaries of Lobster districts over time, and the broad transition from a cannery-based market to a live Lobster market. The maps taken as a whole help to demonstrate consistency of the regulatory approach to Lobster over the twentieth century. However, there are limitations to the interpretive capacity of these maps, as more work should be done to investigate the specific reasoning behind why each change occurred.**Note: The outer boundaries depicted from 1899-1974 are not meant to represent areas where DFO or its predecessor departments had complete or authoritative control of the inshore fishery. In past regulations, districts were described as “on and along the coast.” The outer boundaries assigned to maps prior to 1985 were chosen to make the maps easy to understand relative to current lobster fishing areas.
