Description:

Abstract:

This GIS dataset depicts the location of meltwater channels that drained proglacial lakes during retreat of the last continental glaciation of Alberta. The data were created in geodatabase format and output for public distribution in shapefile format.

Purpose: To provide the location of meltwater channels that drained proglacial lakes during deglaciation.

Data Quality Information:

Logical Consistency Report:

Drainages were digitized in the paleoflow direction of the channel. Line features may cross without intersecting (i.e., features may overlap), as features may be of a different age.

Completeness Report: Only drainages from glacial lakes dammed by the continental ice sheet were mapped.

Lineage:

Process Step:

Process Description:

These lines are drawn to indicate drainage channels for each proglacial lake configuration. These lines were mapped from the provincial digital elevation model and SPOT imagery.
