Each pixel value corresponds to the quality control, cloud cover and snow fraction value for each pixel in the Best-Quality Max-NDVI product.

Each pixel value corresponds to the day-of-week (1-7) from which the Weekly Best-Quality NDVI retrieval is obtained (1 = Monday, 7 = Sunday).

Each pixel value corresponds to the best quality maximum NDVI recorded within that pixel over the week specified. Poor quality pixel observations are removed from this product. Observations whose quality is degraded by snow cover, shadow, cloud, aerosols, and/or low sensor zenith angles are removed (and are assigned a value of “missing data”). In addition, negative Max-NDVI values, occurring where R reflectance > NIR reflectance, are considered non-vegetated and assigned a value of 0. This results in a Max-NDVI product that should (mostly) contain vegetation-covered pixels. Max-NDVI values are considered high quality and span a biomass gradient ranging from 0 (no/low biomass) to 1 (high biomass).

The Indigenous Geographical Names dataset presents an extract from the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB) of geographical names with roots in Indigenous cultures. These geographical names reflect heritage, language, personal names, and cultural practices. Terrain and water features, populated places and culturally relevant places are geographical feature types present in the dataset. The Geographical Names Board of Canada (GNBC) is working to increase awareness of existing Indigenous place names and help promote the revitalization of Indigenous cultures and languages. Many more Indigenous place names exist in Canada, and this dataset will be constantly evolving as additional Indigenous place names are officially recognized and identified. The Geographical Names Board of Canada does not warrant or guarantee that the information is accurate, complete or current at all times. For more information, to report data errors, or to suggest improvements, please contact the GNBC Secretariat at Natural Resources Canada with questions or for more information. The CGNDB is the authoritative national database of Canada's geographical names. The purpose of the CGNDB is to store geographical names and their attributes that have been approved by the GNBC, the national coordinating body responsible for standards and policies on place names. This dataset is extracted from the CGNDB on a weekly basis, and consists of current officially approved names, feature type, coordinates of the feature, decision date, source, Indigenous language of origin where known, and other attributes.

Have you ever wanted to create your own maps, or integrate and visualize spatial datasets to examine changes in trends between locations and over time? Follow along with these training tutorials on QGIS, an open source geographic information system (GIS) and learn key concepts, procedures and skills for performing common GIS tasks – such as creating maps, as well as joining, overlaying and visualizing spatial datasets. These tutorials are geared towards new GIS users. We’ll start with foundational concepts, and build towards more advanced topics throughout – demonstrating how with a few relatively easy steps you can get quite a lot out of GIS. You can then extend these skills to datasets of thematic relevance to you in addressing tasks faced in your day-to-day work. Each tutorial video is also accompanied by a written script, providing a step-by-step reference that users can follow alongside the video or consult afterwards.

The Freshwater Fish Habitat Accessibility MODEL- Pacific Salmon and Steelhead predicts the potential extent of accessible freshwater habitat for Pacific Salmon species and Steelhead in BC. Using the BC Freshwater Atlas as the mapping base, the model presumes that in watershed groups where a given species is known to occur, the species can potentially access any stream that is either: - downstream of a known, validated fish observations for the given species OR - has no known barrier to fish passage downstream AND - has no segment steeper (for at least 100m) than the known swimming ability of the given species anywhere downstream This product is an ACCESSIBILITY MODEL only – it represents only the streams that Pacific Salmon and Steelhead could potentially use for migration, based on known/modelled barriers and the given species swimming ability. The model accounts only for natural barriers and connectivity – other essential characteristics for defining fish habitat are not included. For example, streams modelled as accessible may not have flow sufficient for supporting fish. As such, this model is not appropriate for use in operational applications. It is more appropriate for landscape level assessments and planning exercises. Site specific projects such as riparian buffer delineation require field assessment, stream measurements and fish sampling.
