One meter hillshade generated from bare earth DEM. LiDAR Services International (LSI), a Calgary-based LiDAR company completed an airborne LiDAR survey for the Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve (RLBR) and Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada (AAFC) in October 2011. The project involved collection of...

LiDAR data was collected using LSI's proprietary Helix LiDAR system - Novatel GPS and SPANS inertial unit, coupled to a Riegl Q560 digital waveform ranging laser and mounted in a Cessna 185 aircraft. LiDAR was collected at 600m AGL, and a ground speed of 160km/h. Original data was in an ASCII XYZ...

LiDAR data collected in 2018 of water control structures in Tennaille, Newton, and Huff Lake in Saskatchewan, Canada. Includes Digital Terrain Models, Contours, and Orthorectified imagery. LiDAR Data to be used by AAFC to assess whether additional land control should be pursued and other...

AAFC’s Canadian Ag-Land Monitoring System (CALMS), operational since 2009, was developed by AAFC’s Earth Observation Service (EOS) to deliver weekly NDVI-based maps of crop condition in near-real-time. The CALMS uses data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS), a...

The “South Tobacco Creek Watershed – 10 cm Contours” dataset is a linear representation of the LiDAR DEM data set to the closest 0.1 meters.

The “South Tobacco Creek Watershed - DEM” dataset is a digital elevation model grid generated from ASCII files. The elevation values are expressed in metres with respect to mean sea level (MSL).

The Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s LiDAR Projects dataset was created from existing spatial data. It contains the footprints (outlines) of all the LiDAR data that is openly distributed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is a method of acquiring survey...

The LiDAR data was produced for an Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada land and water resource study. The data is required to produce high resolution DEMs to improve hydrologic and environmental resource modelling within the area.

The ‘Land use allocation to Soils and Landforms by year’ dataset links agricultural land use activities to soils and landscapes within Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) polygons. The land use allocations to soils area datasets were generated on an annual time step (1971-2015). Agricultural land...

The National Pedon Database is a limited, vetted dataset containing over a hundred soil properties. Additionally, this release of the National Pedon Database is only a subset of the information contained within the core National Pedon Database (NPDB) holdings.

This dataset is no longer maintained by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and should be considered as an archived product. For current estimates of the agricultural extent in Canada please refer to the Agricultural Ecumeme produced by Statistics Canada....

The Prairie Soil Zones file shows the general distribution of major soil zones across the Prairie region of Canada. Soil zones (based on the Canadian System of Soil Classification) are named based on the dominant soil classification of the soils in each zone. Data extent is limited to the...

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) created from LiDAR data captured by McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd (MCSL). The DEM represent s the elevation of the landscape covered by this project.

Contour Lines generated from LiDAR data captured by McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd (MCSL). The contour lines connect points of equal elevation for the landscape covered by this project.

Flight lines for the Pasqua, Crooked, Echo, and Round Lakes area within the Qu'Appelle Valley River system in Saskatchewan

The “Agro-Pedological Atlas of Quebec” is a dataset that shows the characteristics, the fertility, the quality of the water regime, the vulnerability to degradation and the potential of the agricultural soils and land in the Monteregian region of the province of Quebec.

Hillshade created from the Swift Current LiDAR Project 2009 – DEM. The hillshade provides a 3 D effect for the landscape covered by this project.

Shorelines for the Pasqua, Crooked, Echo, and Round Lakes within the Qu'Appelle Valley River system in Saskatchewan

Thirty-centimeter contours generated from bare earth LiDAR points. LiDAR Services International (LSI), a Calgary-based LiDAR company completed an airborne LiDAR survey for the Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve (RLBR) and Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada (AAFC) in October 2011. The project...

Series of Panchromatic orthophotos for 4 reservoir areas, Duncairn, LaFleche, Moosomin, Gouverneur taken in 2005. The photos were meant to coincide at a time when the reservoirs where at high flood supply levels (FSL).
