Elevation data (LiDAR) was captured for a select group of 1:2000 scale map sheets covering the Town of New Glasgow. This LiDAR data has had all ground points classified thereby providing a bare earth profile for the project area. The nominal point spacing of the returns is 1 point per metre. The area collected is a total of eleven 1:2000 scale map sheet windows for a total coverage of approximately 31 square kilometres.

Elevation data (LiDAR) was captured for a select group of 1:2000 scale map sheets located in the District of the Municipality Of Shelburne. This LiDAR data has had all ground points classified thereby providing a bare earth profile for the project area. The nominal point spacing of the returns is 1 point per metre. The area collected is a total of thirty four 1:2000 scale map sheet windows for a total coverage of approximately 95 square kilometres.

The bedrock acid rock drainage potential digital product for southwestern Nova Scotia illustrates the potential of bedrock to generate ARD if physically disturbed or exposed. The purpose of this digital product is to inform landowners, developers and municipal planners about the geological hazard of acid rock drainage (ARD) and to identify where the bedrock in southwestern Nova Scotia is potentially sulphide-bearing and may develop ARD if physically disturbed or exposed. Disturbing the bedrock refers to activities that physically alter and/or expose the bedrock, such as drilling, blasting and excavation. There are three ARD potential categories: high, moderate and low. This data is intended to be used as a tool for making land-use and environmental planning decisions by indicating where precaution is needed, or further lithogeochemical analysis is likely required, before engaging in activities that disturb or expose bedrock.

This digital product is a compilation of surficial geological data of the Halifax Metropolitan area which was defined by Dan Utting using a LiDAR derived bare-earth hillshade model. The LiDAR data was collected by PHB Lasermap, and provided by Halifax Regional Municipality. The data was used to create Open File Maps OFM ME 2011-001 to 2011-012, compiled by D. J. Utting, 2011. The digital product was created by Geoscience and Mines Branch staff at the Department of Energy and Mines. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: age dates, drumlins, eskers, geological contacts, surficial geologic units, ice movement, moraines, meltwater, neatline, station locations, and large aggregate quarries.

Polygons for all lands in the province as described in the Photo Interpretation Specifications. Includes water, forested and non-forested areas with additional identification of fresh water wetlands and coastal habitat area classifications. Forested stands include attributes for tree species, percentage, height and crown closure, plus calculated values such as volume.

This digital product is a digital version of Published Map ME 2000-01, Geological Map of the Province of Nova Scotia, compiled by J. D. Keppie, 2000. The digital product was created by Geoscience and Mines Branch staff. The original data was compiled and digitized from over 60 maps and sources of information that are noted on the map. The GIS databases were developed from the information contained on this map. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: bedrock geologic units, faults, geological contacts, isotope ages, other geological features.

This digital product is a compilation of geological data which was collected as part of the mapping of the Meguma Terrane of southwestern Nova Scotia by C.E. White. The principal goals of this project are to produce a series of 1:50 000 scale geological bedrock maps of the area, to describe and interpret the sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic and deformational history of the Cambrian to Early Devonian metamorphic rocks, and to evaluate the area’s economic potential. The data was used to create Open File Maps OFM ME 2012-076 to 2012-101, compiled by C. E. White, 2012. The digital product was created by Geoscience and Mines Branch staff. The original digital data was compiled from a number of sources and supplemented by field done during the course of the project. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: age dates, anticlines/synclines, areas of concentrated drilling, drillholes, dykes, faults, fossils, bedrock geologic units, geological contacts, gold districts, mines, mineral occurrences, small outcrops, quarries, shafts, stockworks, structural data, and shear zones.
