This website describes the Terrain Classification System for British Columbia. This provides a scheme designed for the classification of surficial materials, landforms and geomorphological processes. It also provides an inventory of the terrain features in the landscape and to show their distribution, extent and location. The system is scale independent and provides base data applicable for a wide range of natural resource applications including planning, management, impact assessment and research. The data is conveyed in map form by the use of terrain symbols and is conducive to computer digital storage, management and processing. The topics addressed include: texture of surficial materials, surficial materials, surface expression, geomorphological processes, qualifiers, terrain symbols, subclasses and subtypes and on-site symbols. Also included are appendices, which include a glossary of terms, a field determination of texture for sand, silt and clay, a summary of changes made to 1988 terrain manual, and field card of codes.
