Description:
Abstract:

This map is a rendering of a computer-generated geostatistical model of the thickness and distribution of sediment overlying bedrock in Alberta using a newly revised bedrock topography model of the province (see Alberta Geological Survey Map 551).

This map updates Alberta Geological Survey Map 227: an earlier reconstruction of the sediment isopach map of Alberta.

The incompleteness of this map reflects the absence of sufficient data to interpret part of northern Alberta.

Purpose:
To update previous reconstructions of the drift isopach of Alberta using geostatistical modelling from new and existing data.
