It is the dataset that was used to create Alberta Geological Survey Map 604 (Glacial Landforms of Alberta) using an intermediate step of reducing the density of closely spaced line segments to make the features suitable for map production at 1:1 000 000 scale. This dataset contains the original line features without any cartographic generalization.

Bedrock Geology of Alberta (DIG 2013-0018)
Alberta Geological Survey (AGS)
Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) — 2015-04-07 <p>It is one of the datasets used to produce Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) Map 600. </p><p>This dataset represents the compilation of existing geological maps and original geological mapping by AGS staff. Mapping in support of the dataset included field observations and creating three-dimensional models of subsurface stratigraphy based on the interpretation of geophysical logs from oil and gas wells. Each three-dimensional formation surface was projected to a model of the bedrock surface, and the intersection formed the first approximation of the position of the geological contact at the base of the surficial deposits. We adjusted these preliminary contacts to honour outcrop data and the interpretation of the bedrock unit immediately below surficial deposits in individual wells.</p><p>The data were created in geodatabase format and output for public distribution in shapefile format.</p><p>AGS Open File Report 2013-02 presents additional information on data sources related to this dataset.</p> https://www.aer.ca/' rel='nofollow ugc' style='font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:15.3333px;' target='_blank'>Alberta Energy Regulator</a><span style='font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:15.3333px;'> / </span><a href='

Surficial Sand and Gravel Deposits of Alberta (DIG 2015-0027)
Alberta Geological Survey (AGS)
Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) — 2015-12-23 <p><span>This GIS dataset represents a reclassification of existing surficial map information for the purpose of portraying the distribution of sand and gravel deposits in Alberta. The surficial geology of Alberta ungeneralised digital mosaic (Alberta Geological Survey DIG2013-0001) represents the primary source of information used in this reclassification. This dataset was updated with more recently published 1:100,000 scale surficial geology maps, and where appropriate new polygon features that were digitized from line features in the Glacial Landforms of Alberta (Alberta Geological Survey Map 604 and DIG2014-0022). The updated surficial geology mosaic was then reclassified using a thematically-based attribute table which categorizes the original surficial geology features based on their sand and gravel component. Attributes within this table comprise: (1) an approximation of the material type (MATERIAL); (2) the aerial proportion that this material represents of the polygon, as a percentage (PROPORTION); (3) an indication of whether the sand and gravel unit is mapped at the land surface or is buried (SRF_BURIED); (4) the depositional environment relating to the sand and gravel unit (GENESIS); (5) the reference source to the original data (SOURCE_MAP); (6) the GIS dataset from which the features were derived (DATASET); and (7) the mapping scale (SCALE). The MATERIAL honours the original surficial geology polygons when sufficiently precise texture/material information was provided. Otherwise MATERIAL is based on the typical range of materials that are associated with each surficial geology unit on a litho-genetic basis, using the standard Alberta Geological Survey surficial geology legend. When multiple surficial geological units that contain sand and gravel are present within a single polygon (i.e. 60% eolian deposits and 40% fluvial deposits), MATERIAL reflects the unit with the greatest proportion. For geological units whose material properties are of marginal significance as a sand and gravel deposit, particularly those that contain a mixture of silt and sand, a hierarchy was used to determine whether they are included as sand and gravel deposits. Fluvial deposits, littoral and nearshore deposits, and eolian deposits with a silt textural modifier in the original mapping data were included as potential sand and/or gravel deposits because these units are often interspersed with sand and/or gravel materials. Glaciolacustrine deposits with a silt textural modifier were not included because this environment generally does not result in the deposition of extensive sand and gravel sediments. After all of the attributes had been updated, all polygons that may contain some component of sand or gravel were extracted from this dataset to create the sand and gravel potential for Alberta digital mosaic. With this dataset, users can view the extent of surficial sand and gravel deposits in the province in a single GIS layer without the need to interpret this information from a variety of legends in the original surficial geology datasets. Users can further highlight polygons that may represent more suitable targets for sand and gravel based on the estimated material type (i.e. by eliminating polygons that typically contain large amounts of silt and fine sand), the estimated proportion of sand and gravel within the polygon, and depositional environment. This dataset best portrays sand and gravel potential that occurs at the land surface or in the very near surface, and does not attempt evaluate the sub-surface distribution of sand and gravel units. This dataset also does not provide any direct assessment of aggregate quality or thickness, and the material information is mostly inferred from the general association between certain surficial material types and their geological, depositional environment. Furthermore, the sand and gravel potential dataset is based on surficial geology maps produced at different scales and using different legends, therefore the detail and amount of information provided by these polygons will exhibit regional variations. The mapping scale for each polygon is provided in the SCALE attribute.</span></p> https://open.alberta.ca/licence' target='_blank'>Open Government License – Alberta</a><span><span style='overflow: auto;'><span><span><span style='font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;'><font color='#000000' size='4' style=''>.</font></span></span></span></span></span></span>

Surficial Geology of Alberta, Generalized Digital Mosaic (DIG 2013-0002)
Alberta Geological Survey (AGS)
Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) — 2015-04-27 <p>This GIS dataset is a compilation of existing surficial map information for Alberta, edited for mapping continuity and generalized to make it suitable for presentation and use at 1:1,000,000 scale. It is the dataset used to create Alberta Geological Survey Map 601: Surficial Geology of Alberta. The data were prepared from an intermediate dataset (Alberta Geological Survey DIG 2013-0001), which was edgematched and then the boundaries between similar polygons were dissolved. The residual dataset was then generalized selectively using the Geological Survey of Canada's GeoScaler software. We then added attributes describing the generalized polygons, including unit description, texture, genetic group, and geological age.</p><p>The data were created as an Esri file geodatabase feature class and exported for public distribution as an Esri shapefile.</p> http://open.alberta.ca/licence' style='' target='_blank'>Open Government License – Alberta</a>.</font></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style='overflow: auto;'><span><span style='overflow: auto;'><span><span><span style='font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;'><font color='#000000'></font></span></span></span></span></span></span>
