The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators CESI program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The International Comparison of Air Pollutant Emissions indicators track air pollutant emissions for Canada and nine other...

Short-duration rainfall intensity-duration-frequency IDF statistics in the form of tables and graphs with accompanying documentation for 549 locations across Canada. These files can be downloaded for each province territory or for all of Canada.

This daily forecast describes the ice edge using latitude and longitude coordinates, the total ice concentration, the predominant ice stage of development and the concentration of the oldest ice type. Warnings are issued as appropriate. The forecasts are valid from the time of issue until the end...

Regional ice charts show the analysis of ice conditions for a given region valid on Mondays. They are based on an analysis and integration of data from: satellite imagery, weather and oceanographic information, visual observations from ship and aircraft. Satellite imagery is collected over a few...

The Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP) program was developed to work with Federal custodians to assess and remediate federal contaminated sites under their jurisdiction. Environmental Quality Benchmarks including guidelines, standards and criteria are used under the FCSAP program as...

The integrated pan-Arctic snow melt onset dataset was generated by combining active and passive microwave satellite derived estimates for northern high latitude land surface, ice caps, large lakes, and sea ice (Wang et al., 2011). This dataset allows snow melt dynamics to be examined in a full...

The Atlas of Pelagic Seabirds off the West Coast of Canada presents maps that display the distribution of 48 species of seabirds and two species pairs (i.e., Red-necked and Red Phalaropes, and Hawaiian and Galapagos Petrels). Seabird surveys were conducted aboard commercial and Canadian federal...

The dataset contains the blended gauge and satellite estimates monthly mean precipitation rates unit: mm/day for Canada for the period from January 1979 to December 2007, at a half degree spatial resolution. Please refer to the paper below for the details of the blending algorithm and input...

Attribute data table which contains survey effort values for each season, total bird density, species richness value, species at risk score, and grid cell importance score.

The Government of Canada is committed to the long-term sustainability of Canada's lakes and waterways to ensure that there is clean water for all Canadians, both for this, and future, generations. To this end, on August 2nd, 2012, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the launch of Phase II of...

The Ice Thickness Program Collection contains ice thickness and snow depth measurements for 195 sites. Sites such as Eureka and Resolute have ice thickness records that go as far back as 1947. Record length varies from station to station with some of the Arctic stations exceeding 50 years of...

This database contains detailed information on various sorbents materials used to absorb chemicals with a particular emphasis on the compunds abilities to absorb oil from tanker spills.
