Enhanced Human Footprint Inventory (HFIe) for...
The Enhanced Human Footprint Inventory (HFIe) for the Oil Sands Monitoring (OSM) Region provides spatial information on human-induced land disturbances across the OSM watershed region of Alberta, representing conditions circa 2023. Developed by the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) in collaboration with the Alberta Human Footprint Monitoring Program (AHFMP) and OSM, the dataset integrates existing geospatial data, historical imagery, and SPOT6 satellite imagery to map anthropogenic disturbances. It contains 113 human footprint feature types organized into 20 sublayers, including roads, seismic lines, pipelines, well sites, mining areas, industrial facilities, timber harvesting, agriculture, and residential developments. The enhanced inventory provides additional attributes describing the year of disturbance origin, associated industrial sector, vegetation condition (NDVI), nighttime light radiance, anthropogenic noise, and exploration- versus production-related activities where applicable. The dataset supports land-use analysis, human footprint assessment, environmental monitoring, and evaluation of cumulative anthropogenic disturbances within the Oil Sands Region.
