Deposition, Oil Sands Region

Air emissions from oil sands development can come from a number of sources including industrial smokestacks, tailings ponds, transportation, and dust from mining operations. Air quality monitoring under the Joint Canada-Alberta Implementation Plan for the Oil Sands is designed to determine the contribution of emissions from oil sands activities to local and regional air quality and atmospheric deposition both now and in the future.  Deposition data include:                 
- Passive Sampling of PACs deployed for two month periods across a network of 17 sites                       
- Active sampling of PACs at three sites to inform the amount of dry deposition                 
- Particulate metals (24 hour integrated samples following the one in six day National Air Pollution Surveillance (NAPS) cycle)

Water Quality - Prince Albert

Water quality data is based around two of the largest lakes in Prince Albert National Park – Kingsmere and Waskesiu. Data is collected monthly from May through September each year, with additional water chemistry sampling in March. Water chemistry and Secchi disk depths are sampled by boat at three open water locations, and E.coli levels are tested from three high use beach locations. Discharge measurements are taken for Waskesiu Lake inflow (Kingsmere River, Mud Creek) and outflow (Waskesiu River). Kingsmere and Waskesiu Lakes are representative examples of PANP’s natural aquatic ecosystems, and Waskesiu is a popular recreation location. Monitoring water quality in these lakes is a high priority because of their ecological importance to the overall ecological integrity of the park.

Pelican and Cormorant Abundance and Mortality - Prince Albert

Counts of nesting pelicans and cormorants at the Lavallee Lake colony are conducted each spring via aerial photography, and mortality is counted each fall by walking transects through the colony. Pelicans and cormorants feed on small and large freshwater fish up to 100 km from the colony and are an indicator of the health of the aquatic/terrestrial interface in the ecosystem.

structure as a cost-recovery organization. Passport Canada needs to increase its fees so that it 
can keep pace with advances in technology, international standards and recommended 
practices, and continue to provide excellent client service to Canadians. On November 10, 2011, 
Passport Canada published its fee-for-service proposal, highlighting the proposed changes to its 
fee structure and related services.  
The present document complements the impact assessment presented in the fee-for-service 
proposal and highlights the expected impacts of Passport Canada's proposed fee increase on 
key stakeholders. It shows that the proposed changes to Passport Canada's fees will have a 
positive impact on the government, Canadians, and passport holders.

This is a rather special book. It is an account of the early years of a Canadian initiative to develop and lead a radically new foreign policy agenda, built around the concept of human security. Our goal was to take stock of this first phase of work. Cumulatively, the chapters highlight just how much has been accomplished in such a relatively brief span of time. But they also point the way forward to the challenges of the future. The human security paradigm not only changes the way we look at the world, it leads to a new way of acting in the world — and to a new diplomacy. This book is special for another reason. The authors of the chapters are all foreign policy practitioners, professionals from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Their papers are not academic studies, but "insider" accounts of how each issue developed and what obstacles were overcome. Hence, it goes without saying that what follows is not "official government policy," but rather the more personal accounts of individuals who are ultimately responsible for the views reflected in these chapters"--Editor's Preface, page [xxi]."

Harvest Year/Mask (1985-2015)

Annual mapping of national level forest harvesting for Canada detected inclusive of 1985 to 2015 from Landsat satellite imagery. It is developed within the framework of Canada’s National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (NTEMS). This dataset is composed of two layers: (1) binary harvest mask, and (2) year of harvest disturbance detection. The information outcomes represent 31 years of harvesting activity in Canada’s forests, derived from a single, consistent, spatially-explicit data source in an automated manner. Time series of Landsat data with 30-m spatial resolution were used to characterize national trends in stand replacing forest disturbances, including those attributed to harvest for the period 1985–2015 for Canada's 650 million hectare forested ecosystems (Hermosilla et al. 2016). See references below for an overview regarding the data, image processing, and time-series change detection methods applied, as well as information on independent accuracy assessment of the data. When using this data, please cite as: Hermosilla, T., M.A. Wulder, J.C. White, N.C. Coops, G.W. Hobart, L.B. Campbell, (2016).

High-resolution binary wetland map for Canada (2001-2016)

High-resolution binary wetland map for Canada (2001-2016). Wetland map for the forested ecosystems of Canada focused on current conditions.  It is developed within the framework of Canada’s National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (NTEMS). 
The binary wetland data included in this product is national in scope (entirety of forested ecosystem) and represents the wall to wall characterization for 2001-2016 (see Wulder et al. 2018). This product was generated using both annual gap free composite reflectance images and annual forest change maps following the Virtual Land Cover Engine (VLCE) process (see Hermosilla et al. 2018), over the 650 million ha forested ecosystems of Canada. Elements of the VLCE classification approach are inclusion of disturbance information in the processes as well as ensuring class transitions over time are logical. Further, a Hidden Markov Model is implemented to assess individual year class likelihoods to reduce variability and possible noise in year-on-year class assignments (for instances when class likelihoods are similar). For this product, to be considered as currently a wetland a pixel must have been classified as wetland at least 80% or 13 of the 16 years between 2001 and 2016, inclusively. 

For an overview on the data, image processing, and time series change detection methods applied, see Wulder et al. (2018).

Forest Percent Above Mean (2015)

Forest Percent Above Mean 2015

Percentage of first returns above the mean height (%). It is developed within the framework of Canada’s National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (NTEMS). Represents the canopy cover above mean canopy height. Products relating the structure of Canada's forested ecosystems have been generated and made openly accessible. The shared products are based upon peer-reviewed science and relate aspects of forest structure including: (i) metrics calculated directly from the lidar point cloud with heights normalized to heights above the ground surface (e.g., canopy cover, height), and (ii) modelled inventory attributes, derived using an area-based approach generated by using co-located ground plot and ALS data (e.g., volume, biomass). Forest structure estimates were generated by combining information from lidar plots (Wulder et al. 2012) with Landsat pixel-based composites (White et al. 2014; Hermosilla et al. 2016) using a nearest neighbour imputation approach with a Random Forests-based distance metric. These products were generated for strategic-level forest monitoring information needs and are not intended to support operational-level forest management. All products have a spatial resolution of 30 m. For a detailed description of the data, methods applied, and accuracy assessment results see Matasci et al. (2018). When using this data, please cite as follows: Matasci, G., Hermosilla, T., Wulder, M.A., White, J.C., Coops, N.C., Hobart, G.W., Bolton, D.K., Tompalski, P., Bater, C.W., 2018b.
