The following dataset provides a high-resolution (1 metre) land cover classification for a portion of the Trail Valley Creek (TVC) Research Watershed, NWT. The areal coverage of this product covers the Siksik Creek, Big Bear Lake, Little Bear Lake, Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) bridge, and TVC valley study areas including coverage of the TVC Main Meteorological (TMM) station. Collectively, throughout this document we refer to this region as the “Greater Siksik Area”. In total, the classification product covers an aerial footprint of 5.4 km2. The classification was created using high-resolution RGB imagery collected using a fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) in the Fall of 2019 at the peak of plant senescence where autumn leaf colour was at its maximum and before leaves had fallen.
