Permafrost Information Network

Réseau d'information sur le pergélisol

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
The Permafrost Information Network (PIN) is being developed to improve knowledge of permafrost conditions and contribute pertinent information to government, northern, and research stakeholders. PIN connects borehole stratigraphic, geotechnical, ground thermal, and surficial geology data from a variety of data sources. Currently, PIN includes geotechnical and ground thermal data from published Geological Survey of Canada databases. However, the goal is to collaborate with Territorial data holders to connect their collections through the PIN application.

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
This website is the public interface to the "Canadian Database of Geochemical Surveys". The database has two long-term goals. Firstly, it aims to catalogue all of the regional geochemical surveys that have been carried out across Canada, beginning in the 1950s. Secondly, it aims to make the raw data from those surveys available in a standardised format. Over 1,500 surveys have been catalogued. Approximately 500 are considered to be of long-term strategic value for mineral exploration and environmental baseline studies. Work is progressing on standardising the data for these 500 surveys. To date over 250 datasets have been converted.

Historical Climate Data (formerly: The National Climate Data and Information Archive - NCDC) is a web-based resource maintained by Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Meteorological Service of Canada. The site houses a number of statistical and data compilation and viewing tools. From the website, users can access historical climate data for Canadian locations and dates, view climate normals and averages, and climate summaries. A list of Canadian air stations and their meteorological reports and activities is also available, along with rainfall statistics for more than 500 locations across Canada. Users can also download the Canadian daily climate data for 2006/07. In addition, technical documentation is offered for data users to interpret the available data. Other documentation includes a catalogue of Canadian weather reporting stations, a glossary, and a calculation of the 1971 to 2000 climate normals for Canada. This resource carries authority and accuracy because it is maintained by a national government department and service. While the majority of the statistics are historical, the data is up-to-date and contains current and fairly recent climate data. This government resource is intended for an audience that has the ability and knowledge to interpret climatological data
