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).**

Casualty Place of Burial (Casualty_Place_of_Burial): Place of burial of the casualty when the geographical feature is named in honour of a casualty of war. Feature Type (Feature_Type): Type of geographical feature, e.g. lake, island, bay, town, city.  Feature Type Description (Feature_Type_Description): Description of the geographical feature.

The Common Attribute Schema for Forest Resource Inventories (CASFRI) is a Canadian forest resource inventory data repository. Forest resource inventory datasets in CASFRI are harmonized to a common data model so that data collected by different agencies following different standards can be used together. Participating provincial, territorial and federal government departments and agencies share current and historical map-based forest resource inventory datasets through CASFRI so that their data are available to users who’s areas of interest span multiple jurisdictions. CASFRI was originally developed by academic researchers (Cumming et al., https://doi.org/10.1139/cjfr-2014-0102). This flavour of CASFRI (CASFRIv5) was developed anew in collaboration with academic researchers at the University of Laval to provide a government version of CASFRI that is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. It uses the most up-to-date forest inventory data provided by participating provincial, territorial, and federal government departments and agencies. CASFRIv5 is hosted on the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers’ data portal, the National Forest Information System (http://nfis.org).

Ecological framework maps for the Yukon resulting from the national report "A National Ecological Framework for Canada". Each area can be viewed as a discrete system which has resulted from the mesh and interplay of the geologic, landform, soil, vegetative, climatic, wildlife, water, and human factors which may be present. The National Ecological Framework for Canada is part of the CGDI National Resolution Framework Data. It has been aligned to the National Frameworks, Canada - 1:M scale Hydrology.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

This dataset is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Note that the distribution contact is different for the general public than for Government of Alberta ministries. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset. The National Topographic System of Canada (NTS) is a national mapping reference grid defined by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) that is based on degrees of latitude and longitude. Starting at the Prime Meridian and at the equator, the 1:250 000 grid is formed by intersecting every degree of the meridians with every two degrees of parallels. Each polygon in the grid is designated with a two digit number and a single letter (Example 83H). The province of Alberta is covered by 45 complete and 17 partially complete 1:250 000 NTS blocks.

CaLDAS-NSRPS was installed as an experimental system within the National Surface and River Prediction System (NSRPS) at Environment and Climate Change Canada's (ECCC) Canadian Centre for Meteorological and Environmental Prediction (CCMEP) in July 2019. CaLDAS-NSRPS is a continuous offline land-surface assimilation system, which provides analyses of the land surface every 3 h over the domain of the High-Resolution Deterministic Prediction System (HRDPS) at a 2.5 km grid spacing. The emphasis in CaLDAS-NSRPS is to focus upon the assimilation of satellite based remote sensing observations to provide the optimal initial conditions for the predictive components of the NSRPS, the High Resolution Deterministic/Ensemble Land Surface Prediction System (HRDLPS/HRELPS) and the Deterministic/Ensemble Hydrological Prediction Systems (DHPS/EHPS). CaLDAS-NSRPS is launched 4 times per day, at 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 UTC.

Deforestation in Canada is estimated with the National Deforestation Monitoring System (NDMS). Details describing this process are published here: https://cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/publications?id=36042. Deforestation is the direct human-induced conversion of forested land to non-forested land use. Canada’s National Deforestation Monitoring System (NDMS) was designed and implemented to provide information needed by Canada to meet its obligation under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to report the areas affected annually by deforestation. It also provides important information for the public, government policy makers, and scientists. To provide information about the amount of deforestation and why, where, and when it occurred in Canada, the NDMS uses deforestation mapped on a system of sample areas. The mapping is based on visual interpretation of satellite imagery supported by available ancillary information, such as high resolution imagery, forest inventory, and industrial databases, and informed by records-based information and expert knowledge. Accurate detection and mapping of deforestation events involves manual interpretation of satellite remote sensing imagery by specialized analysts. A key factor in the mapping is to distinguish deforestation from other forest cover losses that occur in Canada. The NDMS was designed to make use of all available lines of evidence and be flexible to accommodate variable resourcing levels. This system has been producing national deforestation monitoring results annually since 2006. The flexibility of the NDMS’s design makes it possible to adapt to future changes in data and resource availability, and positions the program well for sustained operational delivery into the future.
