This polygon dataset represents meltwater deltas and fans depicted in AGS Map 207, 'Quaternary Geology, Southern Alberta'.

Locations of alluvial fans, flute/drumlin centroids and ice-thrust ridges shown on Map 207, Quaternary Geology, Southern Alberta.

This polygon dataset represents those parts of the ground surface modified by lake and stream erosion and deposition, as well as stagnation moraines covered by lacustrine sediment, as depicted in AGS Map 207, 'Quaternary Geology, Southern Alberta' (stippled and cross-hatched areas).

This GIS dataset comprises the linear landform features depicted on AGS Map 207, 'Quaternary Geology, Southern Alberta'. These features include eskers, meltwater channels, moraines as well as features either parrallel to or transverse to ice movement direction (small ridges, elongated hummocks and depressions, flutes and drumlins).

This data comprises the polygon features from AGS Map 213, 'Quaternary Geology, Central Alberta', compiled by I. Shetsen. Field work was conducted between 1981 and 1983, and the map was published in 1987 at 1:500,000 scale. See AGS Map 213 for data sources used in the compilation.

This GIS dataset is a result of the compilation of all existing Alberta Geological Survey sand and gravel geology and resource data into digital format. Data sources include Alberta Geological Survey maps and reports produced between 1976 and 2006. References are provided as an attribute so the user can refer back to the original maps and reports. Attributes include study level, material description, references, area, sand and gravel thickness, and gravel and sand volumes.

The Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin was designed primarily as a reference volume documenting the subsurface geology of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This GIS dataset is one of a collection of shapefiles representing part of Chapter 24 of the Atlas, Uppermost Cretaceous and Tertiary Strata of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Figure 22, Post-Paleocene Deposits. Shapefiles were produced from archived digital files created by the Alberta Geological Survey in the mid-1990s, and edited in 2005-06 to correct, attribute and consolidate the data into single files by feature type and by figure.

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.

The Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin was designed primarily as a reference volume documenting the subsurface geology of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This GIS dataset is one of a collection of shapefiles representing part of Chapter 12 of the Atlas, Devonian Woodbend-Winterburn Strata of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Figure 31, Winterburn Group Depositional Elements and Index Map. Shapefiles were produced from archived digital files created by the Alberta Geological Survey in the mid-1990s, and edited in 2005-06 to correct, attribute and consolidate the data into single files by feature type and by figure.
