ABMI Alberta Wetland Inventory Data

The ABMI province-wide wetland inventory maps wetland classes according to the Alberta Wetland Classification System - fen, bog, swamp, marsh - across Alberta. The open water class includes both shallow and deep open water features. The product was generated using a combination of satellite and terrain data, and machine learning. The province was mapped separately in three project areas representing ecoregions of Alberta with distinct wetlands. These three regions are: (i) the forested region, which is characterized by large peatland complexes; (ii) the prairie region with wetlands usually occurring in small depressional potholes, and (iii) the mountain region where wetlands are constrained to narrow valleys.
