Description

The Wetland Inventory Pilot project is part of ongoing efforts to develop innovative wetland mapping methodologies across Alberta, Canada with the objective to refine and establish wetland inventory mapping methodologies using advanced Earth Observation (EO) imagery and machine learning (ML) techniques. Wetland Inventory was developed for four pilot study areas within Alberta for the Boreal 1: South Hay-Zama Lake (7,613 km2), Boreal 2: North Slave Lake (21,215 km2), Grassland located east of Brooks (5,065 km2) and Parkland located east of Red Deer (5,170 km2). These areas were selected to represent the broad diversity of wetlands and land-uses in the province. The Boreal study areas utilized EO sources from Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and high-resolution airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR. The Grassland and Parkland study areas contained a comprehensive collection of EO satellite...

Description

The Riparian Areas Assessment of the Swan River Watershed focused on assessing riparian habitat along creek, stream and river shorelines. This dataset was created for the Lesser Slave Water Council as a part of a large scale riparian area assessment in Alberta. The overall goal of this project was to quantify and characterize the riparian habitat management in the Lesser Slave Lake watershed by assessing riparian areas along approximately 582 km of shoreline. The riparian areas that were assessed were located within the Swan River watershed (HUC 8) and included the left and right banks of the Swan, Moosehorn and Inverness Rivers. This study created a recent land cover layer within 50 m of selected shorelines and use this layer to assess the intactness of riparian areas along major waterbodies. It also provided guidance on how the results from the intactness assessments can be used to target conservation and restoration efforts within along the shorelines that were assessed as part...
