  • Forest Change Adaptation Tools (Opens in a new Window)

    Forest Change adaptation tools provides information about the impacts of climate change on Canada’s forests and on how to adapt to changing climate conditions. Adaptation tools and resources for forest managers are available here. The tools and resources provided include maps, databases, web applications and synthesis reports. They are grouped under three broad systems: climate, forest and human.

    Forest Fire Information Map (Opens in a new Window)

    The Forest Fire Information Map provides ratings of forest fire danger across Ontario, categorized as Low, Medium, High or Extreme, as well as a list of fires for the current year. For each fire, the size, start date, current status, and cause are viewable as part of the interactive map. Data are available in both polygon (fire danger) and point (current forest fires) formats.

    Geoscience Atlas (Opens in a new Window)

    The Geoscience Atlas is an interactive map that allows users to select and view layers that include general map layers (e.g. Forest access roads and Contours), coastal monitoring variables (e.g. Coastal Erosion Index and Coastal Sensitivity Index), areas of geochemistry, and geology. Users can toggle and zoom into specific regions in Newfoundland and Labrador. Coastal erosion indices are viewable on map at point resolution.

    Gridded Hydrologic Model Output (Opens in a new Window)

    The Gridded Hydrologic Model Output page provides access to gridded, 1/16-degree (roughly 35 km2) hydrologic projections for four watersheds in British Columbia. Users can select locations of interest on a gridded map. Hydrological variables including precipitation, flow, evapotranspiration, and runoff are available for download under various climate scenarios in NetCDF, ASCII, and Arc formats.

    Nunavut Permafrost Databank (Opens in a new Window)

    The Nunavut Permafrost Databank contains permafrost information for Nunavut. Information includes permafrost temperature and depth data and best practices and guidelines for building on permafrost. A mapping tool displays permafrost information in specific geographic locations. Historical data are available as point and polygon data. Additionally, users could search and select between time periods and locations of interest.

    Ontario Climate Data Portal (Opens in a new Window)

    The Ontario Climate Data Portal contains statistically and dynamically downscaled climate projections under various emissions scenarios. It incorporates 10km x 10km resolution projections using a combined downscaling technique based on 209 ensemble members of global and regional climate model results released under the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). Data, maps, figures, and reports are provided at a daily temporal scale.

    PLAN2ADAPT (Opens in a new Window)

    The Plan2Adapt tool generates maps, plots, and data describing projected future climate conditions for regions throughout British Columbia. It is designed to help assess climate change in regions of BC based on a standard set of climate model projections. Climate variables include temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and growing and heating degree days. Impacts of change in these climate variables are also discussed. Data can be explored based on regional districts, health authority boundaries, ecoprovinces, and forestry regions over three time periods (2020s, 2050s, and 2080s), seasonally and annually.
