    The Boreal Caribou data Package includes layers that are used for Boreal Caribou Range Planning in the NWT. This includes fire history, human disturbance, range planning regions as well as the 2020 Resource Selection Function layers for all seasons. Data sources and contact information can be found within each layer's metadata.

    This is a point shape file representing 2 kilometre incremental distances along each of the 8 NWT highways.  These 2km points do not represent the actual location of 2km highway posts found along the sides of the highways.  The feature class points are placed every 2 kilometres along a highway and represent the distance from a fixed commencement point, the beginning of that highway.

  • This entry provides access to the figures and data tables that feature in the CSAS Research Document titled 'Optical, chemical, and biological oceanographic conditions on the Scotian Shelf and in the eastern Gulf of Maine in 2015'. Please consult the meta-data text file that accompanies the zip file download for the figure on the data usage policy and appropriate citation. The meta-data file also provides field descriptors and any other information that may be useful in interpreting the data provided in relation to the accompanying imagery. Abstract: As warm and variable ocean conditions persisted in the Maritimes Region in 2015, there was increasing evidence of a shift in both phytoplankton and zooplankton communities away from the dominance of large phytoplankton and copepods toward smaller phytoplankton and copepod species. Although deep-water nitrate inventories were mainly higher than average in 2015, deep silicate and phosphate inventories were lower than average on the Scotian Shelf for the third year in a row. The spring bloom started later than normal and was weaker in magnitude and shorter in duration than usual. Phytoplankton biomass anomalies were mixed across the Shelf, but the abundance of large phytoplankton, particularly diatoms, was lower than average, continuing a pattern started in 2009. The abundance of the biomass-dominant copepod species Calanus finmarchicus and zooplankton biomass overall were lower than average overall in 2015, as was the abundance of Arctic Calanus species, continuing a pattern started during the last 4-7 years. In contrast, the abundances of offshore copepods were higher than average. Changes in phytoplankton and zooplankton communities observed in recent years indicate poor feeding conditions for planktivorous fish, birds, and mammals. Continuous Plankton Recorder sampling, the reporting of which lags Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program sampling by one year, indicated that in 2014 the spring phytoplankton bloom occurred earlier and was of shorter duration than normal over the entire Scotian Shelf and that the springtime peaks in abundance of the dominant zooplankton taxa Calanus I-IV and C. finmarchicus V-VI were also relatively early and relatively short-lived. 2014 annual abundance anomalies were unusually high for hyperiid amphipods and foraminifera over the entire Scotian Shelf in 2014, and unusually low for euphausiids. Annual abundance anomalies for most other taxa were at near normal levels on the western Scotian Shelf and below normal levels on the eastern Scotian Shelf. http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/Publications/ResDocs-DocRech/2017/2017_012-eng.html

  • These shorebird surveys are conducted intermittently at a series of sites near the town of Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, during northward (April to May) and southward migration (July to November). This survey includes all shorebird species. Surveyors used binoculars or a spotting scope to count the total number of shorebirds present within the natural boundaries of each survey site during the northward and/or southward migration periods. They used a boat to count birds within the entire area of Arakun Flats and Ducking Flats by traveling along the outer edge of the mudflats, and by stopping at standardized vantage points on land. They also used a boat to view as much area as possible within Maltby Slough, South Bay and Grice Bay from the openings to each of these bays. Surveyors walked the entire length of Chesterman Beach including the tombolo to Frank Island. Surveys were done at least twice a week at each site. Most boat surveys began at low tide when the mudflats were exposed and continued on the rising tide. Road accessible sites were usually surveyed during the hour before high tide or at high tide in 2011. Surveys were not conducted in weather that reduced visibility or made boat travel unsafe (heavy rain or high wind). Surveyors counted birds individually when they were within flocks of fewer than 200 birds. They estimated the size of larger flocks by counting 50 or 100 birds and then judged how many similar-sized groups made up the entire flock. Distant flocks were recorded as small or large shorebirds and assumed to have the same species composition as those closer to shore in 1995 or identified to species group and recorded as either “dowitchers” or “peeps” in 2011.

    A database of verified tornado occurrences across Canada has been created covering the 30-year period from 1980 to 2009. The tornado data have undergone a number of quality control checks and represent the most current knowledge of past tornado events over the period. However, updates may be made to the database as new or more accurate information becomes available. The data have been converted to a geo-referenced mapping file that can be viewed and manipulated using GIS software.
