The Canada Centre for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO) has created a 30m resolution radar mosaic of Canada's landmass from the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM). This product highlights different types of radar interaction with the surface, which can assist the interpretation and study of land cover on a national scale. The national mosaic is made up of 3222 RCM images acquired between August 2023 and February 2024. (Credit: RADARSAT Constellation Mission imagery © Government of Canada [2024]. RADARSAT is an official mark of the CSA.)

This map is the base for a series of maps that depict Canada's involvement in a range of topics, including international trade and Canada's participation in various international partnerships and organizations. The dataset includes countries, major rivers, lakes and oceans, pacific island groupings, marine annotations, and country annotations, which are available for download in both English and French. Additionally, static maps of the world as well as each individual continent will be available for download in both English and French.

Multi-Agency Ground Plot (MAGPlot) database is a Canadian forest ground-plot data repository. Different agencies, including National Forest Inventory (NFI) and 12 Canadian jurisdictions (AB, BC, MB, NB, NL, NS, NT, ON, PE, QC, SK, and YT), contributed forest ground plot datasets in their original format into MAGPlot. The datasets delivered to us were quality controlled, standardized, and harmonized, and integrated into a single, centralized, and analysis-ready format database. The current version (MAGPlot_v1) uses the historical and most up-to-date measurements provided by the collaborators. Several datasets are excluded from this release due to pending agreements and ongoing processing, these include Manitoba, Newfoundland, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. The standardized and harmonized dataset were presented in eight different data tables (four sites and four trees’ measurements tables) in a relational database schema. Sites’ related tables include information pertaining to sites’ geographical locations, treatments, and disturbances while trees’ information contain information related to measured tree attributes, including trees’ biophysical parameters, tree growth, species, status, and health conditions. While all contributors provided large and small tree plot measurements, only NFI, AB, MB and SK provided regeneration plot measurements. MAGPlot’s main objective is to present the data in a findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable format for a pan-Canadian forest research. The future versions are expected to include more tables, new attributes, updated and/or new measurements. MAGPlot_v1 is hosted on the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers’ data portal, the National Forest Information System (http://nfis.org). Ground plot sites requiring a signed data use agreement with the contributing jurisdiction have been excluded from this service, contact nfisupport@nfis.org for to arrange access to those sites. Jurisdictions/Groups excluded from this service: Alberta, Manitoba, National Forest Inventory, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories.

Reference maps illustrate the location of census standard geographic areas for which census statistical data are tabulated and disseminated. The maps display the boundaries, names and unique identifiers of standard geographic areas, as well as physical features such as streets, railroads, coastlines, rivers and lakes. Reference maps include: Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) Census tracts Federal electoral districts

RADARSAT-1, in operation from 1995 to 2013, is Canada's first earth observation satellite. Developed and operated by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), it has provided essential information to government, scientists and commercial users. Ultimately, the RADARSAT-1 mission generated the largest synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) data archive in the world. In April 2019, 36,000 images were made accessible through the Earth Observation Data Management System (eodms-sgdot.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca). A heatmap of processed images was produced by the CSA and helps visualize the density of images available by mapped sector during the RADARSAT-1 mission.

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).
