The Bedrock Index provides a spatial record of the location of all Bedrock maps published by the Geological Survey of Canada and hosted on Geoscan. The index has three "series" of maps; CGM, A series, and preliminary maps. In cases where there have been multiple editions of a map, the most recent record is reported in the Bedrock Index attribute table. Maps published in Open File documents are not recorded in the bedrock index. The "A" series maps were produced from 1909 to 2010 and have been replaced by the CGM (Canadian Geoscience Maps) series. CGM maps began production in 2010 and are still being published. Preliminary maps were published from 1941 to 2021.

The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (CIMD) is an area-based index which used 2016 Census of Population microdata to measure four key dimensions of deprivation at the dissemination area (DA)-level: residential instability, economic dependency, situational vulnerability and ethno-cultural composition.Using factor analysis, DA-level factor scores were calculated for each dimension. Within a dimension, ordered scores were assigned a quintile value, 1 through 5, where 1 represents the least deprived and 5 represents the most deprived.The CIMD allows for an understanding of inequalities in various measures of health and social well-being. While it is a geographically-based index of deprivation and marginalization, it can also be used as a proxy for an individual. The CIMD has the potential to be widely used by researchers on a variety of topics related to socio-economic research. Other uses for the index may include: policy planning and evaluation, or resource allocation.

This dataset contain all of the 1:20 000 scale index contour information converted from the Provincial Digital Base Mapping Project. These contour arcs are a cartographic product and they do not have any elevation values attributed to the spatial features. These contours require the use of elevation text to properly interpret the elevation value of a specific contour. Index contours are identified every 5th contour line. For Alberta, the index contour intervals occur every 50 metres in relatively flat terrain and every 100 metres in mountainous terrain. Currently, no contour information exists for Banff, Jasper and Wood Buffalo National Parks and also for the Extreme north east portion of the province.

This layer shows the location of the sampled stations classified according to the Eastern Canada Diatom Index (IDEC). It contains data obtained since 1935 that was converted to version 3 of the index (Lavoie et al. 2014).Benthic diatoms are microscopic unicellular algae that line the bottom of streams and lakes. Some species are more sensitive to pollution than others. Therefore, the species composition of benthic diatom communities, through the relative abundance of each species present, offers information about the environmental conditions that prevail in a river.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This data set represents the digital information on all known mineral occurrences in the Province of Saskatchewan.This data shows information on all known mineral occurrences in Saskatchewan. Additional occurrences are added as new public domain geoscience information is analyzed. The data was created as a file geodatabase feature class and output for public distribution. Current definitions for the mineral deposit categories used in the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index can be found by searching “Mineral Deposit Category Definition Tables” on the Publications Saskatchewan website.

Topographic maps produced by Natural Resources Canada conform to the National Topographic System (NTS) of Canada. Indexes are available in three standard scales: 1:1,000,000, 1:250,000 and 1:50,000. The area covered by a given mapsheet is determined by its latitude and longitude. 1:1,000,000 mapsheets are identified by a combination of three numbers (e.g. 098). 1:250,000 mapsheets are identified by a combination of numbers, and letters ranging from A through P (e.g. 098C). Sixteen smaller segments (1 to 16) form blocks used for 1:50,000 mapping (e.g. 098C03).

Map indexes are grids that divide the territory into several sheets for the whole of Quebec. The use of these indexes allows the identification of a map sheet number for a specific territory at the scale of 1/2,000, 1/20,000 and 1/100,000.The cartographic indexes come from the Quebec cartographic reference system (S.Q.R.C), which divides the territory into hierarchical units and at different scales (1/100,000, 1/20,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000, 1/5,000, 1/5,000, 1/5,000, 1/1,000). This system is compatible with the [**National Cartographic Reference System (S.N.R.C) **] (https://ressources-naturelles.canada.ca/sciences-terre/geographie/information-topographique/cartes/9766).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Pacific Herring spawn index data for British Columbia from 1951 to present. Note that the spawn index is a relative index of spawning biomass. In addition, “NA" indicates that data are unavailable because they are either incomplete or withheld; contact the custodian for more information. For the "Region" column specifically, "NA" indicates that the location is outside stock assessment region boundaries. There are a few caveats to consider when interpreting Pacific Herring spawn index data, which are discussed in the technical report (see supporting documents).
