SPATIAL CANADA CONTINUED ENVIRONMENTAL IHS has compiled a variety of environmental, restricted-use and surface boundary data that comprises IHS Environmental Data. This data is gathered from a variety of disparate sources that have been bundled as one package. In some cases, we have digitized unique layers, including Critical Wildlife and Watercourse Crossing Restricted areas. Other reference layers include key information, such as areas restricted to exploration, resource management zones, trapper boundaries and historic sites. These layers are useful for geophysical planning, pipeline route selection, environmental assessment and most other field activities. Access to IHS Environmental Data allows for more effective surface and environmental contexts in relation to Drilling Operations and Environmental Assessments/ Impact Reports. IHS compiles, corrects and continually updates the environmental layers as new information becomes available. GEOPOLITICAL IHS has compiled multiple data sources to create IHS Geopolitical Data, enhancing data quality, precision, breadth and depth. IHS Geopolitical Data is managed and maintained in various containers that are an aggregate of similar types of boundary or locational data that have contextual and potentially interlocking relationships. Included are Health Regions, RCMP Boundaries, Gas Strike Boundaries and more. TOPOGRAPHY IHS Topography Data provides greater contextual background information useful for planning and modeling projects. The data can create a better overall picture of an area of interest to help mitigate unexpected concerns before entering the field. IHS Topography Data includes: 50 »» IHS elevation contour lines based on source information ranging from 1:10,000 to 1:50,000 scales »» Contour intervals that are ten meters in regions where the source data is metric and 25 feet in areas where the source data is imperial »» Both imperial and metric source data converted into its nonnative measurement units to provide a uniform, coverage-wide choice of unit of measure »» An intermittent layer of supplementary spot height elevation locations »» Digital Elevation Model raster layers covering all of Canada are also included. Coverage ranges from 9 meter to 20 meter resolution. This data provides a general elevation backdrop useful for observing landscape trends and overall elevation patterns. With this information, users can better visualize surface elevations, generate elevation profiles and analyze slopes Sample of IHS Topography Data
