Catchment Structural Units

Catchment Structural Units This project generated unique numerical codes at the pixel level to provide wall-to-wall coverage of 128 unique Catchment Structural Units (CSUs) codes based on land use-land cover (LULC), surficial geology, wetlands and slope across the Province. The Provincial CSU layer represents the quantification of combined structural influences at an individual pixel scale, as expressed by a specific numeric and text code. These codes reflect the geospatial layers used to represent catchment structure. The CSU data is presented at a pixel resolution of 20 x 20 m and five initial structural layers (i.e., land cover, land use, surficial geology, wetlands and slope). This resolution was chosen to balance detail with computational efficiency. Each class within the structural layers were assigned unique numeric codes of different orders of magnitude. 2024-12-06 Government of Alberta john.orwin@gov.ab.ca Nature and Environment-CANADAALBERTACATCHMENT-STRUCTUREENVIRONMENTINLANDWATERSNETWORK-DESIGNWATER-QUALITY-MONITORINGGovernment information Linking catchment structural units (CSUs) with water quality: Implications for ambient monitoring network design and data interpretation (From Alberta Geodiscover Portal metadata)HTML https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.114881 Catchment Structural Units - (HTML)HTML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/7e13e3d57b2343ab97325abd07a0a44d/html Original metadata (https://open.alberta.ca/opendata)HTML https://open.alberta.ca/opendata/c9a90da4-170b-4113-aca4-6e2c88fee512 Catchment Structural Units - (XML)XML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/7e13e3d57b2343ab97325abd07a0a44d/xml Catchment Structural Units (FGDB) (From Alberta Geodiscover Portal metadata)ZIP https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/srd/geodiscover/srd_pub/inlandwaters/CatchmentStructuralUnits.zip
