A digital grid of the top of the Second White Specks Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. The grid is generated at a 250 m cell-size resolution, based on information as recent as 2003.

A digital elevation model derived from the Federal DEM (76m resolution) and resampled to a 250 m cell-size resolution.

A digital grid of the top of the Clearwater Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. The grid is generated at a 250 m cell-size resolution, based on information as recent as 2003.

All available bathymetry and related information for Caribou Lake were collected and hard copy maps digitized where necessary. The data were validated against more recent data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 'SRTM' imagery and Indian Remote Sensing 'IRS' imagery) and corrected where necessary....

This dataset evaluates the sandstone-hosted uranium potential of Alberta. An Alberta Geological Survey database of oil and gas well logs were queried to identify wells with gamma values greater than 300 API (American Petroleum Institute units). An algorithm written for this analysis queried more...

A digital grid of the top of the Empress Fm. Unit 1 sand and gravel, (the lowermost unit in the Empress Formation), where present, or the topography of the surrounding landscape, where Unit 1 is absent. The unit is originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to the bedrock surface and...

A digital grid of the top of the Empress Formation where present, or the topography of the surrounding landscape, where the formation is absent. This includes the units 1 to 3 of the Empress Formation in buried valleys, as well as undifferentiated Empress interfluve sediments resting on the...

A digital grid of the top of the Empress Fm. Unit 2 silt and clay, (the middle unit in the Empress Formation), where present, or the topography of the surrounding landscape, where Unit 2 is absent. The unit is originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to the bedrock surface, the surface...

A digital grid of the subcrop edge of the McMurray Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. Values in the grid correspond to areas where the unit is present (denoted by the number '6'), or where it is absent (denoted by the null value...

A digital grid of the top of the sand and gravel deposits that lie on the interflueve benches between major bedrock valleys. The unit is originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to the bedrock surface and the present-day land surface. The grid is generated at a 250 m cell-size...

This GIS dataset depicts the result of a geostatistical model of the bedrock topography in Alberta. This model is based on water-well litholog data, stratigraphic picks made on oil and gas petrophysical logs, data derived from digitized contour interpretations on bedrock topography maps,...

A digital grid of the top of the McMurray Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. The grid is generated at a 250 m cell-size resolution, based on information as recent as 2003.

This kimberlite xenocryst dataset includes the electronic microprobe data from silicate and oxide xenocryst minerals from various ultrabasic to kimberlite rock occurrences in the northern Alberta kimberlite province. These data, which total 4,285 analyses, include 897 garnet 533 clinopyroxene 791...

The bedrock topography of Alberta is the surface of the top of Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene bedrock, and reveals geomorphic features created by Paleogene to Recent river systems and Quaternary glaciation. This grid is a computer-generated geostatistical model of the bedrock topography of...
