Environment Canada's scientific research activities generate large volumes of data on myriad subjects, ranging from sea-ice conditions to releases of industrial air pollutants into the environment.
Some departmental data sets, such as those pertaining to weather and climate, contain measurements and observations that date back more than a century. They serve as an important indicator of how our environment is changing.
This section provides links to some of the Department's many data collections, including online databases, archives, inventories, reports, surveys, maps and atlases.
This centre provides climate and consultation services in the Atlantic Region. It publishes summaries of recent data and offers specific services to the public, as well as to the legal, scientific, educational and engineering communities.
This map shows ambient air monitoring sites operated by provincial and federal governments in the Atlantic Region.
Get the latest information on sea and iceberg conditions as well as weather and marine products.
Here you will find the list of species scheduled for the next assessment meeting and the results of these meetings.
This atlas describes the status of woodland and woodland fragmentation in southern Quebec.
Find information here on preserving forest corridors in agricultural ecosystems.
This section contains a subset of six measurement stations for long-term (i.e. decades) operation and enhancement.
Use these links to search through a variety of data warehouses to find the information you need.
This geographic information system has two types of applications: a stand-alone software known as the Atlantic Sensitivity Mapping Application and a web mapping interface called E-MAP.
The centre focuses on four main areas: technologies for measuring air pollutants in ambient air and from mobile and stationary sources; analysis of a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds in diverse samples; assessments and clean-up of contaminated sites; and prevention of and response to pollution emergencies such as oil and chemical spills.
This section offers links to various freshwater data.
GISE is a decision-support tool for stakeholders involved in the management of the St. Lawrence ecosystem, as well as a useful source of information for scientists.
This section provides detailed information about the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment.
This database provides useful information on pesticide emissions and residues for the scientific, industrial, educational and policy-making communities.
These atlases have been developed to help agencies and companies prepare for and respond to oil spills and spills of other hazardous materials in the Great Lakes.
This network was established by Canada and the United States to monitor air and precipitation in the Great Lakes Basin.
This database contains selected air and precipitation chemistry data from many major regional-scale networks in North America, including the following networks: CAPMoN, CORE, NAPS, IADN and CAMNet.
This archive contains over a century and a half of Canadian weather data including information on temperature, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, cloud types, soil temperature, evaporation, and solar radiation, as well as occurrences of thunderstorms and other weather phenomena.
Access the National Pollutant Release Inventory to find information about pollutant releases, disposal, recycling and pollution in Canadian communities.
This section aims to assist persons who are subject to a Canada Gazette Pollution Prevention Planning Notice in complying with the requirements of the Notice. It provides access to the Pollution Prevention Planning Database, where notice forms may be completed and submitted on-line.
