PURPOSE: Determine the time and temperature combinations that result in partial and complete mortality of larvae of the Bronze birch borer DESCRIPTION: The protection of forest resources and the safe trade of forest products require phytosanitary measures which reduce the risk of pest movement to...

To support improved groundwater geoscience knowledge for southern Ontario, a regional 3-D model of the surficial geology of southern Ontario has been developed as a part of a collaboration between the Ontario Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Canada. Covering approximately 66,870...

The Marine Geoscience for Marine Spatial Planning (MGMSP) program, implemented by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), is an initiative with the goal of offering innovative regional geoscience products to support the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in their Marine Spatial Planning...

Prospectivity model highlights areas of Canada with the greatest potential for clastic-dominated zinc deposits. The preferred prospectivity model is based on public geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets that were spatially indexed using the H3 discrete global grid system. Each H3 cell...

Prospectivity model highlights areas of Canada with the greatest potential for magmatic nickel deposits. The preferred prospectivity model is based on public geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets that were spatially indexed using the H3 discrete global grid system. Each H3 cell is...

Prospectivity model highlights areas of Canada with the greatest potential for Mississippi Valley-type zinc deposits. The preferred prospectivity model is based on public geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets that were spatially indexed using the H3 discrete global grid system....

The "Starter Kits" of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) are curated bundles of geospatial data delivered as a service. These kits are the result of a user needs assessment commissioned by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), with a primary focus on addressing the specific...

In November 2020, the Minister of Natural Resources Canada launched an inclusive engagement process to modernize Canada’s policy for the management of radioactive waste. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) officials led the six-month engagement process with the support of other federal government...

This dataset is associated with the article authored by Marine Pacé, David Paré, Nicole Fenton and Yves Bergeron entitled "Effect of lichen, Sphagnum spp. and feather moss leachates on jack pine and black spruce growth ". It includes growth surveys of jack pine and black spruce in greenhouse at...

This dataset is linked to a manuscript titled "Enantiospecific response of Ips avulsus to ipsdienol varies depending on semiochemical context" submitted for publication. The dataset contains records of the number of Ips avulsus beetles captured by traps baited with racemic ipsdienol or...

Hydrogeological Regions provide a framework to introduce the regional hydrogeology of Canada and to connect apparently disparate studies into a broader framework. The hydrological regions are first order areas used to capture and summarize data that will help develop more detailed profiles of...

Four to six years measurements of carbon and nutrient fluxes at 21 sites located along a 4oC climatic gradient, half of which were in balsam fir stands and the other half in black spruce stands. Litter fall is measured as well as respiration in situ using an IRGA device.

In April 2017, Natural Resources Canada launched Generation Energy, a six-month conversation on how Canada can ensure prosperity for Canadians while transitioning to a clean, affordable energy future. A forum, located on the Generation Energy website, was set up for Canadians to share their...

The map displays bedrock formations at or near the surface of the land, on the sea floor above the continental crust that forms the Canadian landmass, and oceanic crust surrounding the landmass. The bedrock units are grouped and coloured according to geological age and composition. The colours of...

Data used in the article, Ecology of outbreak populations of the western spruce budworm by V. Nealis and J. Régnière in Ecosphere 2021.

An archive of 2D regional seismic and long period magnetotelluric data collected during 20 years of work under the LITHOPROBE project. Data are primarily onshore and cover widespread regions of Canada. Available data types include raw digital data, processed sections, and images of final...
