Multiscale hydrographic basins from levels 1 to 8 covering the whole of Quebec. These thematic layers were created using maps from the BDTQ (Quebec Topographic Database at a scale of 1:20,000) for the southern part of Quebec and using the CANVEC product (Canadian Topographic Database at scale 1:50,000) for the northern part of the province.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__.The mapping of **vegetation in Northern Québec** is a component of an extensive inventory carried out to meet knowledge acquisition needs as part of the economic, social and environmental development project “**Plan Nord**”. This inventory was carried out between **2010 and 2013**. Vegetation mapping in Northern Quebec provides information on terrestrial ecosystems, both forest and non-forest, such as the type of forest cover, undergrowth vegetation, disturbances, etc. A mapping approach based on remote sensing techniques (satellite images) was used. Ground and air control points contribute to the validation and clarification of the information interpreted.This map is available for the entire territory north of the 53rd parallel, which represents an area of approximately 680,000 km2. This territory is presented on topographical bases at a scale of 1/250,000. The minimum mapping area is 16 ha for vegetation and 3 ha for wetlands.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The “Agro-Pedological Atlas of Quebec” is a dataset that shows the characteristics, the fertility, the quality of the water regime, the vulnerability to degradation and the potential of the agricultural soils and land in the Monteregian region of the province of Quebec.

The bank of oblique photographs of Northern Quebec is composed of georeferenced photos taken on board planes or helicopters during flights carried out as part of the program for the acquisition of ecological knowledge in Northern Quebec as part of the economic, social and environmental development project “Plan Nord”. During these overflights, the personnel on board were equipped with high-resolution cameras connected to a satellite geolocation system (GPS). The photos obtained in this way served as control points to improve the various thematic maps. __Note:__ For the purposes of distributing this bank, the photos could be modified slightly in order to improve the shooting. Georeferencing photos on the map refers to the location of the plane or helicopter at the time the shot was taken. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Deposit is the layer of loose material that covers rock. It may have been established during the retreat of the glacier at the end of the last glaciation or by other processes associated with erosion and sedimentation. The nature of the loose deposit is evaluated based on the shape of the land, its position on the slope, the texture of the soil, or other indicators. Surface deposit maps make it possible to distinguish the main categories of surface deposits, to know their nature, thickness and distribution on Quebec territory. The map of **surface deposits in the North** is a component of an extensive inventory carried out to meet knowledge acquisition needs as part of the economic, social and environmental development project “Plan Nord”. This inventory was carried out between 2010 and 2013. The mapping of surface deposits was carried out using a new approach based on remote sensing techniques. The interpretation was carried out by geomorphologists using RapidEye anaglyph (3D) satellite images with high spatial resolution (5 m). Ground and air control points allowed the validation of the interpreted information.Mapping is available throughout the country north of the 53rd parallel, which represents an area of approximately 680,000 km2. The minimum mapping area is 100 ha. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The **portrait of forest cover in Québec** is an assembly made from the up-to-date ecoforest map of the inventory of southern Quebec and vegetation maps from the northern ecoforest inventory and Northern Quebec. Administrative divisions, forest boundaries and territories where forest management responsibilities and obligations are under the responsibility of the municipal environment are also added. Then, an update is carried out for areas that have a predominant use other than forest, including the road and rail network, energy transmission lines, cultivated land and built environments. The portrait makes it easy to calculate the rate of land use by forests in the territory of a municipality, an unorganized territory, an indigenous territory, an MRC or an administrative region, then to draw up a summary of some main characteristics of the forest.Annually, the portrait is reproduced with the most recent version of the data sources and then published on the Data Québec portal in December.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This map depicts the metamorphic facies for the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada.This map depicts the metamorphic facies for the province of Saskatchewan. The Precambrian Shield of Northern Saskatchewan has a complex metamorphic history with as many as six distinct thermotectonic events affecting various regions. Several of these result from major periods of crustal thickening attributed to orogenies, whereas others represent separate pulses of unknown origin. As might be expected, it is the most recent of these that are the most extensively preserves and that can be documented most reliably. More information can be found in GSC Open File 5443 Metamorphic map of Northern Saskatchewan, scale 1:1 000 000. **Please Note – All published Saskatchewan Geological Survey datasets, including those available through the Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas, are sourced from the Enterprise GIS Data Warehouse. They are therefore identical and share the same refresh schedule.
