Natural Resources Canada (NRC) announced via its GeoConnections website a Geomatics Canada "Partners in Innovation" program to include
: "research using satellite technology to estimate crop biomass; mapping "hot spots" in forest fires; and providing digital data support of search-and-rescue operations" including various programs that make data available: www.geocan.nrcan.gc.ca/ar/ar_english/partner_e.html
CEONet provides tools to locate and access Canadian geospatial data sets and services through the CGDI web site : geoconnections.org This site is maintained by Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) and funded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) under the Long Term Space Plan. National Atlas of Canada collaborates here.
---GeoGratis service is free web access to 1200 small-scale framework datasets.
A new Disaster Information Centre by the University of Manitoba, collaborating with government, Simon Fraser University, Fisheries and Oceans and Canadian Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) will use remotely-sensed data for disaster management and monitoring, flood level prediction and drought monitoring, building on the Crop Information System developed by CCRS and operated by the Manitoba Centre for Remote Sensing, [which has classified AVHRR data sets, and uses GeoComp program software.
---CCRS and Agriculture Canada are using RADARSAT 2 to estimate crop biomass east of Ottawa, Ontario.
