Abstract: This dataset is part of the three-dimensional (3-D) hydrostratigraphic model of the Sylvan Lake sub-basin in the Edmonton-Calgary Corridor, central Alberta. It represents the structure top of the Scollard Formation in the Sylvan Lake sub-basin. Bedrock units included in the Sylvan Lake sub-basin model are derived from the Geological Framework of Alberta, a regional geological model of the province. The Top of Scollard Formation, provided by the Geological Framework of Alberta, was clipped to the Sylvan Lake sub-basin model domain for integration into a multi-layer hydrostratigraphic model. This dataset supplements Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) Open File Report 2014-10, which includes a full description of the methodology used to produce this grid.

Data quality info:

Data quality: Scope: Scope: Hierarchy level: Scope code: dataset Report: Absolute external positional accuracy: Name of measure: Horizontal Positional Accuracy Measure description: Evaluation method description: This grid was derived from the Top of Scollard Formation, provided by the Geological Framework of Alberta. The subsurface stratigraphic picks used as data input to create that grid are estimated to have recorded well locations within a 10 m radius of their actual locations. The cells of this grid are 400 m on each side, so any horizontal positional error will have little impact on the accuracy of the grid, considering this is a regional scale grid and not intended for local scale studies. Result: Quantitative result: Value unit: Base unit: Identifier: Units system: xlink: http://www.bipm.org/en/si/ Value: Report: Absolute external positional accuracy: Name of measure: Vertical Positional Accuracy Measure description: Evaluation method description: For integration into the Sylvan Lake sub-basin 3-D hydrostratigraphic model, the Top of Scollard Formation, provided by the Geological Framework of Alberta, was clipped to the Sylvan Lake sub-basin model domain and re-interpolated in RockWorks15. The elevation difference between the original and re-interpolated Scollard Formation grid is negligible.

Result: unknown Lineage: Lineage: Statement: To satisfy the requirements of a numerical groundwater flow model, the top of the Scollard Formation grid is extended across the Sylvan Lake sub-basin model domain. Where the Scollard Formation is absent, grid nodes are assigned a value equal to the underlying top of the Battle Formation grid value plus a constant of 0.10 m. Process step: Process step: Description: The methodology to create this grid dataset is fully documented in AGS Open File Report 2014-10. Modelling software used to create grid: ArcMap (grid interpolation) and RockWorks15 (deterministic alterations) The picks detailed below were created and compiled by other authors and reported in this metadata record for user convenience. Number of data points used: 5902 This includes all Scollard Formation subsurface stratigraphic picks needed to reproduce the lateral extent of the Top of Scollard Formation, provided by the Geological Framework of Alberta, including points that extend outside the Sylvan Lake sub-basin model domain. Data type: Stratigraphic picks from published and unpublished AGS sources and the Alberta Energy Regulator corporate database. Date and time: 2013-01-01T00:00:00 Process step: Process step: Description: The Geostatistical Analyst ArcMap extension was used to interpolate the elevation value for the Top of Scollard Formation, provided by the Geological Framework of Alberta.

Date and time: 2013-01-01T00:00:00 Process step: Process step: Description: Deterministic Grid Alteration Information: The Top of Scollard Formation, provided by the Geological Framework of Alberta (500 m cell-size) was resampled to a 400 m cell-size grid (i.e., the specified cell-size for the Sylvan Lake sub-basin multi-layer hydrostratigraphic model) and clipped to the model domain. Geographic coordinates (x,y) as well as elevation data (z) were sampled at each evenly-space grid node in ArcMap and exported into RockWorks15 for integration into the full hydrostratigraphic model. Algorithm used to re-interpolate each evenly-space grid node: The Scollard Formation grid was re-interpolated in RockWorks15 at a 400 m cell-size node spacing using 'closest point', where grid nodes are set equal to the value of the nearest data point. Modelling constraints applied: Limited manual manipulation of grids was performed, including: 1) constraining the Scollard Formation to the top of the Paskapoo Formation (equivalent to the bedrock topographic surface in the Sylvan Lake sub-basin); and 2) where the Scollard Formation is absent, adding a constant thickness of 0.10 m to the z-value of the underlying grid node (Battle Formation) to produce a continuous Scollard Formation structure top grid across the Sylvan Lake sub-basin model domain.
