Challenges In Comparing National Forest Statistics - Canada As A Case Study

H/T Michael Wulder |Senior Research Scientist at Natural Resources Canada
“Canada is a forest nation. Its forests are spatially extensive, ecologically diverse, and of global importance. While national level forest statistics are used for international reporting and comparison, they often fail to reflect the distinctive structure and stewardship context of Canada’s forest estate, which includes millions of hectares of remote, unmanaged forests alongside actively managed zones governed by provincial and territorial stewardship frameworks...”

“The Canadian Hydrospatial Network (CHN) is a map-based dataset that includes Canada's lakes, rivers, watersheds and other water features and their connections to each other.
It's applications include:
🗺️ serving as a foundation for advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, including for flooding and drought
🗺️ supporting water and watershed management
🗺️ providing essential base data for cartography…”
You can now explore six new regions …”

“There are approximately 70 fires currently burning across the country, primarily in northern B.C., northern Alberta and the southern Northwest Territories, according to Michael Norton from Natural Resources Canada (#NRCAN).
Norton said at a technical briefing earlier Wednesday that most of the blazes are “#HoldoverFires from 2023 that smouldered through the warm, dry winter we experienced and have become more active as spring progresses.”

"Towards a whole-system framework for wildfire monitoring using Earth observations." 🔥🌲🛰️
Check out our brand new #OpenAccess paper in Global Change Biology! My first with
#NRCan #GLFC.In this paper, we present a conceptual framework for holistic #wildfire monitoring. We review the stages and #EarthObservation information needs and apply this to 4 #fire case studies.
When working in #firemonitoring, it's important to be clear about your objectives... this paper can help! #EOChat

Assessing and Mitigating Ice-Jam #Flood Hazards and Risks: A European Perspective
https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/15/1/76
It would certainly be interesting to organize a similar workshop in #Canada, with a lot of work on-going in #icejam #modeling, both from a #floodhazard and #floodrisk perspective

Something I have used a lot this year and is excellent https://github.com/RichardScottOZ/geoscience_language_models - a fork of the #NRCAN original with a few updates and also doing some things in #Portuguese #Brazil - it is really well done and has pretty good #OpenSource models available too - with a Canada focus. I would have put a million documents through it roughly. #NLP #DataScience #DataEngineering #Python #Geoscience #gloVe #geology #wordembeddings #MineralExploration #Copper #Nickel #GitHub #OpenSource

The new Historical #Flood Events data layer (HFE) is now LIVE in #Canada! And updated continuously using media records.
"With over 1400 flood events documented in over 7000 locations, the #NRCan Historical Flood Events data layer provides an accessible way to view the who, what, when, and where of historical flood events in Canada."
