Abstract: This GIS dataset is part of a digital compilation of the Precambrian geology of the Alberta portion of the Canadian Shield and Athabasca Basin. It is one of the datasets used to produce Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) Map 537. For the Alberta shield, the compilation integrates detailed mapping by both AGS and the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) at scales ranging between 1:31,680 and 1:250,000. Geochronological data and interpretations also helped prepare this dataset. For the Athabasca Basin, the compilation incorporates the geology of the basin presented in the ExTech IV volume, published in 2007 by the GSC. This dataset tries to present the geological information in a neutral manner, unbiased by the three mutually exclusive, regional tectonic concepts existing at the time of compilation. Users are encouraged to view AGS Map 537, which contains overviews of the geology of the respective areas and a complete reference list. This line feature dataset came from existing, though largely unpublished, digital sources. Areas of the shield are mainly from digitized versions of AGS Maps 180 and 25: the shield north of Lake Athabasca and south of the Athabasca Basin, respectively.

Abstract:
This GIS dataset is part of a digital compilation of the Precambrian geology of the Alberta portion of the
Canadian Shield and Athabasca Basin. It is one of the datasets used to produce Alberta Geological Survey
(AGS) Map 537. For the Alberta shield, the compilation integrates detailed mapping by both AGS and the
Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) at scales ranging between 1:31,680 and 1:250,000. Geochronological data
and interpretations also helped prepare this dataset. For the Athabasca Basin, the compilation incorporates
the geology of the basin presented in the ExTech IV volume, published in 2007 by the GSC. This dataset tries
to present the geological information in a neutral manner, unbiased by the three mutually exclusive,
regional tectonic concepts existing at the time of compilation. Users are encouraged to view AGS Map 537,
which contains overviews of the geology of the respective areas and a complete reference list. This line
feature dataset came from existing, though largely unpublished, digital sources. Areas of the shield are
mainly from digitized versions of AGS Maps 180 and 25: the shield north of Lake Athabasca and south of the
Athabasca Basin, respectively.
Purpose:
To update the Precambrian geology of northeastern Alberta, including the Alberta portions of the Canadian
Shield and Athabasca Basin, and to use this information in a geographic information system.
Credit:
GISmo Solutions Ltd. digitized the shield source maps. The EXTECH IV project supplied the Athabasca basin
data. E.J. Waters and K. Mckay compiled and edited the data.
