Northern Wolverine Lake map area in southeastern Yukon contains geological mapping data outlining new stratigraphy for the Yukon-Tanana Terrane. The data constrains the stratigraphic position of the Wolverine Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit and clarifies the relationship between the Yukon-Tanana Terrane and the Campbell Range belt. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated on April 17, 2026.
Government of Yukon data provides stratigraphic observations on middle to Upper Cretaceous strata in the Eagle Plain basin. The study refines the sequence stratigraphic framework based on sedimentological observations, defining new informal lithological members. Findings indicate westward basin deepening and identify sand-prone mass transport deposits suggesting shelf-to-basin floor relief of at least 100 meters.
A four-stage evolution model of the Klondike's White Channel gravel clarifies gold placer formation and depositional history. Pollen evidence from a lacustrine layer indicates the Klondike district was at least 7°C warmer during the Pliocene compared to the present. The dataset originates from a Government of Yukon sedimentological study, last updated in April 2026.
In September 2000, eleven shrub species were planted in experimental plots at three different areas of the Brewery Creek Gold Mine near the Klondike River. The Government of Yukon conducted this project to identify useful species for revegetating large open areas after mine closure, with results potentially applicable to other Yukon mine sites.
Daily measured concentrations of suspended matter (MES) and phosphorus in samples from a treatment plant's tributary and effluent during the 2015 summer season. The data underwent simulation and estimation treatments for flexibility in prototypes developed for the Aquahacking 2016 event. This is a one-time extraction with no planned updates, published by the Government and Municipalities of Québec.
The Geology of the Whitehorse Coal Deposit dataset describes anthracite coal seams in the Cretaceous Tantalus Formation near Whitehorse, Yukon. Government of Yukon documentation includes measurements of seam thickness, strike length, and calculated open-pittable reserves of 180,033 tonnes. Field mapping and rotary drilling data from 1985 and 1987 are incorporated.
Two timelines of flow measurement data recorded every 5 minutes during the 2015 summer season. The data were processed with simulation and estimation techniques for the Aquahacking 2016 event. This is a one-time extraction with no planned updates, provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec.
A 150 to 420-meter-thick siltstone-dominated mixed carbonate-siliciclastic succession formally defined for the early Neoproterozoic Fifteenmile Group. Ten sections of the Chandindu Formation are presented, including a proposed type section, to aid correlation of Proterozoic records in northwest Canada. The data originates from the Government of Yukon and was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Field studies from 2017 targeted basal Laberge Group strata at seven locations in central Yukon. The project examines a ~3000-meter thick succession of Early to Middle Jurassic synorogenic clastic strata. The Government of Yukon produced this dataset to test hypotheses about basin transgression and exhumation.
A report from the Government of Yukon, last updated April 2026, reviews past reclamation practices and examines natural vegetation succession on lands disturbed by mining. It discusses the reclamation potential of 23 locally occurring shrub species and provides techniques for assisted revegetation, including plant material collection and propagation methods. The information is primarily extracted from vegetation experimentation in Alaska and northern Alberta.
A fossil wood specimen of par-autochthonous origin was recovered from Paleocene sedimentary rocks of the Moose Channel Formation in the Big Fish River area of Yukon. The specimen is described as a new species, Protopiceoxylon yukonense sp. nov., belonging to the extinct family Protopinaceae. The investigation compared it to holo- and paratype specimens from the Natural History Museum Berlin.
Government of Yukon documentation details five deformation phases affecting the Ketza River Mine area. The description focuses on ductile deformation, thrusting, and extensional events linked to mineralization. The dataset was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Geoscience Australia's pre-competitive marine geoscience data includes bathymetry compilations, seabed geomorphology, and sediment stability maps. The integrated datasets are delivered via the Australian Marine Spatial Information System (AMSIS) to support planning and investment decisions across ocean sectors. A related poster was presented at the Australian Marine Science Association conference in July 2025.
Flux tower measurements quantify the exchange of energy, water vapor, and carbon dioxide between the surface and atmosphere using eddy covariance techniques. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network processed the data using PyFluxPro and ONEFlux software to produce final, gap-filled products for Net Ecosystem Exchange. This release is part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project and was updated in April 2026.
Six island systems—three with a history of vertebrate herbivores and three without—provide a novel test of contrasting ontogenetic defense trajectories. The dataset contains measurements of leaf toughness, phenolic content, and nutrient levels for ten native woody plant species per system, comparing juvenile and adult individuals. Xoaquin Moreira published this 62.8 KB dataset on figshare in April 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
A dataset describes a novel sampling method for collecting marine organisms from the planktobenthos and benthos concurrently. The Mounted Assembly for Planktobenthic Sampling (MAPS) was deployed on the Carnarvon Shelf in Western Australia, successfully collecting a wide variety of epibenthic, infaunal, and planktobenthic animals. The data was published by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated on 2026-04-30.
L. M. Carneiro's dataset from 2026 analyzes the diversification of carnivorous trophic niches among Pucadelphyda (Metatheria) during the Palaeocene and early Eocene in South America. It includes phylogenetic, morphometric, and morphofunctional analyses of sparassodonts from localities like Tiupampa and Itaboraí. The 2.2 MB dataset is available in TNT, DOCX, and XLSX formats under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Large numbers of plant fossil specimens were collected in the Bowen Basin in 1960 by field parties in the Mt Coolon and Clermont areas. The report describes these collections, illustrates representative specimens, and provides age determinations for fossil horizons. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated in 2026.
Statistics on commercial fishing licences issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in the Pacific Region. The data also includes information from the registration of commercial fishing vessels. Records are available from 1985 onward.
Eastern and Western Australian margins are the study area for this dataset of deep-sea biological features. It comprises thousands of high-resolution still images used to identify and characterize lebensspuren—sedimentary structures made by organisms. The data was compiled by Geoscience Australia to correlate abiotic factors with biological activity and evaluate imagery as a biodiversity assessment technique.
