Spatial datasets of CMIP6 climate change projections for Canada and the United States

Geospatial climate change projections are critical for assessing climate change impacts and adaptations across a wide range of disciplines. Here we present monthly-based grids of climate change projections at a 2-km resolution covering Canada and the United States. These data products are based on outputs from the 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) and include projections for 13 General Circulation Models (GCMs) , three Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSP1 2.6, SSP2 4.5, and SSP5 8.5), four 30-year time periods (2011-2040, 2021-2050, 2041-2070, and 2071-2100), and a suite of climate variables, including monthly maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation, climate moisture index, and various bioclimatic summaries.  The products employ a delta downscaling method, which combines historical normal values at climate stations with broad-scale change projections (or deltas) from GCMs, followed by spatial interpolation using ANUSPLIN.  Various quality control efforts, described herein, were undertaken to ensure that the final products provided reasonable estimates of future climate.

Hydrocarbon resource assessment of Hudson Bay, northern Canada

A revised qualitative assessment of the hydrocarbon resource potential is presented for the Hudson Bay sedimentary basin that underlies Hudson Bay and adjacent onshore areas of Ontario, Manitoba, and Nunavut. The Hudson Basin is a large intracratonic sedimentary basin thatpreserves dominantly Ordovician to Devonian aged limestone and evaporite strata. Maximum preserved sediment thickness is about 2.5 km. Source rock is the petroleum system element that has the lowest chance of success; the potential source rock is thin, may be discontinuous, and the thin sedimentarycover may not have been sufficient to achieve the temperatures required to generate and expel oil from a source rock over much of the basin. The highest potential is in the center of the basin, where the hydrocarbon potential is considered amp;lt;'Mediumamp;gt;'. Hydrocarbon potential decreasestowards the edges of the basin due to fewer plays being present, and thinner strata reduce the chance of oil generation and expulsion. Quantitative hydrocarbon assessment considers seven plays. Input parameters for field size and field density (per unit area) are based on analog Michigan, Williston,and Illinois intracratonic sedimentary basins that are about the same age and that had similar depositional settings to Hudson Basin. Basin-wide play and local prospect chances of success were assigned based on local geological conditions in Hudson Bay. Each of the seven plays were analyzed in Roseand Associates PlayRA software, which performs a Monte Carlo simulation using the local chance of success matrix and field size and prospect numbers estimated from analog basins. Hudson sedimentary basin has a mean estimate of 67.3 million recoverable barrels of oil equivalent and a 10% chance ofhaving 202.2 or more million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent. The mean chance for the largest expected pool is about 15 million recoverable barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE), and there is only a 10% chance of there being a field larger than 23.2 MMBOE recoverable. The small expected fieldsizes are based on the large analog data set from Michigan, Williston and Illinois basins, and are due to the geological conditions that create the traps. The small size of the largest expected field, the low chance of exploration success, and the small overall resource make it unlikely that there are any economically recoverable hydrocarbons in the Hudson Basin in the foreseeable future. The Southampton Island area of interest includes 93 087 km2 of nearshore waters around Southampton Island and Chesterfield Inlet in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut. Of the total resource estimated for Hudson Bay, 14 million barrels are apportioned to the Southampton Island Area of Interest.

ARCHIVED - Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) – Imports and Exports

The Canada Energy Regulator regulates the export of natural gas. Orders or licenses are required to export natural gas, including liquefied natural gas, from Canada. Holders of these authorizations report monthly on their activities to CER. LNG import and export activities are available by terminal from 2009 to August 2024. Data is delayed by approximately 2 months. 

Disclaimer:
The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) stopped authorizing natural gas import activities in August 2022 as it is not a requirement under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act (see the CER’s 3 February 2023 letter  - https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/about/how-we-regulate/guidance/cera/gas-import-authorization-regulatory-change-no-new-import-authorizations-required.html). This impacted the natural gas (including liquefied natural gas) import data submitted to the CER. Since the CER stopped authorizing import activities, natural gas reports are based on incomplete data and do not reflect the total volumes imported. The CER’s natural gas import reports will be discontinued after October 2024. Historical data will remain on our website. Another set of natural gas import data is available through Statistics Canada’s Canadian International Merchandise Trade web application. (https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2021004-eng.html)  Going forward, liquefied natural gas export data is available on this website.

Artificial sweeteners in Ontario streams

To quantify the influence of septic system effluent on streams, 294 samples from 173 stream sites in southern Ontario, Canada, were collected between 2008 and 2015 and analyzed for four artificial sweeteners, acesulfame, saccharin, cyclamate, and sucralose. These artificial sweeteners are powerful tracers of wastewater in the environment due to their widespread use in consumer products and their high concentrations in raw and treated wastewater. Septic systems are known to contribute artificial sweeteners to groundwater, which can subsequently discharge to surface waters. 91% of the stream water samples collected as part of this dataset contained one or more artificial sweeteners, indicating a contribution of groundwater that originated from septic system effluent. Detailed information on the collection and interpretation of this data is published in Journal of Hydrology X 7: 100050. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hydroa.2020.100050.

Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) Rocky Mountain Population Five Year Survey, 2005-2015

The Canadian Rocky Mountain Population (RMP) Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) survey has been completed every 5 years since 1975. It has been used to monitor Trumpeter Swan population and distribution throughout the range of the Canadian RMP, which covers portions of Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, and Northwest Territories. Up to and including the 2005 survey, a census survey method was used to count Trumpeter Swans on their breeding grounds in late summer. The 2010 and 2015 surveys used a stratified random sampling approach, conducting aerial surveys of selected 1:50K map sheets in late summer. Surveys were conducted by the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS), the Government of Alberta (AEP), and the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS). The included shapefile is a summary of the last three surveys where adult Trumpeter Swan totals are summarized by 1:50K map sheets. Where the same map sheet was surveyed more than once during the three surveys, only results from the most recent survey are presented. Regional survey reports are presented for 2005. Continental survey reports are presented for 2010 and 2015. Due to the large population expansion, Canadian RMP Trumpeter Swans are no longer a conservation concern. As a result, this costly single species survey has been discontinued.

Grand River artificial sweeteners

The concentrations of four artificial sweeteners, acesulfame, saccharin, cyclamate, and sucralose, were measured at 23 sites along the length of the Grand River in southern Ontario, Canada, to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial sweeteners as tracers of domestic wastewater in the environment. River water was collected and analyzed from sampling campaigns that occurred in June and September 2007 and April 2009. The Grand River receives effluent from 30 municipal wastewater treatment plants, servicing a population of approximately 800,000 people at the time of this study. Due to their widespread use in consumer products, the fact that they are not metabolized in the body, and that they are resistance to degradation in wastewater treatment systems, high concentrations of all four artificial sweeteners were found in the Grand River. For three of the sweeteners, the maximum concentrations found at the time were the highest on record for a river anywhere in the world. Detailed information on the collection and

30-year Average Crop Heat Unit

Crop/Corn Heat Units (CHU) is a temperature-based index often used by farmers and agricultural researchers to estimate whether the climate is warm enough to grow corn. Daily crop heat units are calculated from minimum and maximum temperatures with separate calculations for day and night. The daytime relationship sets the minimum at 10 C for growth up to a maximum of 30 C, beyond which growth slows.  
  
  These values are calculated across Canada in 10x10 km cells.
