First Fall Frost (-2 °C) is defined as the average day of the second half of the year with the first occurrence of the minimum temperature of a climate day which is at or below -2 °C. These values are calculated across Canada in 10x10 km cells.

The data represents the relative expense of fertilizer and lime in the agricultural area of Alberta. It is an estimate of the degree to which agriculture may affect nutrient levels in surface and groundwater. The classes shown on the map are ranked between 0 (lowest) and 1 (highest).Mapping the relative values of fertilizer expenses by SLC polygon area is useful as an indication of where more fertilizer is applied in the province and as a proxy indicator for crop production.It also suggests the relative agricultural intensity in various parts of the province. This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.

Alberta Geological Survey created a coal and coalbed methane (CBM) database to capture and manage CBM data. The database compiles different sources and contains information on 7923 wells (15,200 formation picks, 37,357 coal picks, 495 coal analyses and 363 vitrinite reflectance measurements). From this parent dataset, individual coal zone was evaluated. This record describes the Carbon Thompson coal zone's calculated gas in place in Bcf/section.

Mountain Goat and Sheep Ranges were determined from both observations (telemetry and aerial sheep/goat surveys) and habitat suitability indexes. Goat and sheep ranges have been buffered by 800m to derive zones. Range delineation encompasses use during all seasons.To identify goat and sheep ranges in an effort to: a) avoid land use disturbances that may have a direct or indirect adverse effect on the behavior of the animals, and b) avoid permanent alteration of physical habitat conditions. An area south of Grande Prairie was added to the layer in November 2022.

AFETUW (Alberta Flow Estimation Tool for Ungauged Watersheds) is a rapid assessment tool used to estimate natural flows during the open water season (April-October) in ungauged watersheds. The AFETUW Regulated Stream Network GIS layer is a copy of the ArcHydro Phase II Provincial stream network with several added attribute fields. Attributes are set by the Regional Hydrologists to control the ungauged stream flow options administrated by the AFETUW Development Team for any stream reach or segment or for multiple streams within any defined area. The “Regulate” field is used to specify stream reaches that are regulated by an upstream control structure such as a dam. For a regulated stream, AFETUW flow estimation cannot be applied although a watershed boundary can still be delineated. This data layer can be viewed via AFETUW webapp at https://afetuw.alberta.ca/

The Historical Green/White Area dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the historical Green and White areas in Alberta.

The Provincial Electoral Division - Historical 2010 dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the areas in Alberta established as electoral divisions under the Alberta Electoral Divisions Act of December 2, 2010. This dataset reflects the legally valid boundaries for provincial general elections and for provincial by-elections, and supersedes all previously published electoral division datasets.
