Attend this session to find out how teachers are using GIS to engage students in hands-on learning.Engaging Secondary Students with Spatial Community Based ProjectsCory Munro, Saugeen District Secondary School, Bluewater District School BoardStudents become engaged when they collect and analyze data for projects that produce meaningful results. This session will briefly highlight the work of several student and class projects at the local and international level. Forming community partnerships in recent years has provided excellent opportunities for students to build their spatial analysis skills using ArcMap, ArcGIS Online, Survey123, Story Maps, and Collector for ArcGIS. Projects to be highlighted include mapping safe routes to school based on local infrastructure and student surveys, tracking school graduates and their post-secondary destinations, fire safety in Saugeen Shores, and more.

The tutorial begins by stepping through the basics of setting up and being productive with Python notebooks. You will be introduced to ArcGIS Notebooks, which are Python Notebooks that are well-integrated within the ArcGIS platform. Finally, you will be guided through a series of ArcGIS Notebooks that illustrate how to create compelling notebooks for data science that integrate your own Python scripts using the ArcGIS API for Python and ArcPy in combination with thousands of open source Python libraries to enhance your analysis and visualization.To download the dataset Labs, click the Open button to the top right.

Land cover information is necessary for a large range of environmental applications related to climate impacts and adaption, emergency response, wildlife habitat, etc. In Canada, a 2008 user survey indicated that the most practical land cover data is provided in a nationwide 30 m spatial resolution format, with an update frequency of five years. In response to this need, the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) has generated a 30 m land cover map of Canada for the base year 2010, as well as this 2015 land cover map. This land cover dataset is also the Canadian contribution to the 30 m spatial resolution 2015 Land Cover Map of North America, which is produced by Mexican, American and Canadian government institutions under a collaboration called the North American Land Change Monitoring System (NALCMS). This land cover dataset for Canada is produced using observation from Operational Land Imager (OLI) Landsat sensor. An accuracy assessment based on 806 randomly distributed samples shows that land cover data produced with this new approach has achieved 79.90% accuracy with no marked spatial disparities.

This Operations Dashboard presents detectable thermal activity from the MODIS sensor on-board NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites for the last 48 hours. MODIS Global Fires is a product of NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS), part of NASA's Earth Science Data. EOSDIS integrates remote sensing and GIS technologies to deliver global MODIS hotspot/fire locations to natural resource managers and other stakeholders around the World. The Satellite (Thermal) Hotspots and Fire Activity layer can be access from the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. Many of the fire stats represented here include the Fire Radiative Power intensity attribute, which is a measure of the total energy output of a fire in megawatts. This metric is important for applications of biomass burning, as fires in areas with greater biomass are associated with higher FRP. Each of the elements in the Dashboard help to filter, select, and zoom into the thousands of features on the map. The basemap was customized using the ArcGIS Vector Tile Style Editor app.

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada"s performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program ensures that greenhouse gas emissions from Canada"s largest emitters are measured and reported. This mandatory reporting contributes to the development, implementation and evaluation of climate change and energy policies and strategies in Canada. Greenhouse gas emissions data reported through the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program are used, where appropriate, to confirm the reasonableness of estimates of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada in the National Inventory Report. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated. The latest reporting year (2021) coincides with the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected a wide range of industrial sectors. The results must be interpreted in the context of the pandemic impacting facility operations in 2020 and 2021 to some extent (for example, production slow-downs and reduced demand) but other non-pandemic related factors also contributed to observed emission changes (such as, lower coal consumption and fuel switching).

River basins or hydrologic units are often the spatial unit used for aggregating and analyzing components of the water cycle such as precipitation, runoff, riverine discharge, etc. The hydroSHEDS dataset, derived from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, are the most commonly used global hydrologic unit for these analyses. But when planning water use or gaps, political boundaries need to be considered. Water provinces (Straatsma et al 2020) provide a much more realistic hydrologic unit for such purposes.Esri’s World Administration Divisions (2011) defines 3,300 subnational units. Areas less than 150,000 sq km were aggregated into 1,099 regions. The water provinces were then calculated by overlaying these regions with the major basins from hydroSHEDS. After sliver polygons were removed, the result was 1,604 unique units based on river basins but constrained by political boundaries. These water provinces provide a suitable unit for longterm water use planning, especially at local scales.A more detailed description can be accessed here.

This table is updated weekly every Friday with the net new cases for each province by date. Each week, 14 new rows are added, 10 provinces, 3 territories and the summary Canadian total (Province=CA).

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Water quantity in Canadian rivers indicators provide information about the state of the amount of surface water in Canada and its change through time to support water resource management. They are used to provide information about the state and trends in water quantity in Canada. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated. See Local Water quantity in Canadian rivers - Water quantity at monitoring stations, Canada for more information on data formats, interactive indicator map, web services, and contact information.
