Advanced Landcover Prediction & Habitat Assessment (ALPHA) Products

The ABMI's ALPHA program uses Earth observation data and spatial data science to map and monitor Alberta's natural landscape. Products in the ALPHA program include wetland data, and hydroperiod data.

ABMI Wetland Inventory

This product represents the most up to date wetland data set created by the ABMI for Alberta/Canada and provides users with high quality data to meet their needs.

Photoplot Land Cover Data - Training & Validation

The ABMI 3 x 7 Photoplot Land Cover Data Set is a very detailed and comprehensive GIS data layer that provides information on a number of land surface attributes.

Boreal Surface Water Inventory

The Boreal Surface Water Inventory is a data set which gives the location, extent, and attributes of 421,348 waterbodies across the Alberta Boreal Forest Natural Region.

Boreal Wetland Probability Data

The Boreal Wetland probability data set is a raster based product which describes the probability of wetland habitat at a 10 m resolution across Alberta's Boreal Forest Natural Region.

Hydro Temporal Variability

This dataset represents a summary of variability in surface water extent during ice-free months (April-October) from 2014-2017. The layer values demonstrate the percent of time a given 10 m pixel was identified as water in Alberta.
