PREFACE

Digital Surficial Geology of the Southern Alberta area is a product of the Southeastern Cordillera project of Canada's National Geoscience Mapping Project (NATMAP). NATMAP is a program of the Geological Survey of Canada that is designed to meet future challenges to geoscience mapping in Canada. These challenges include demands for more geoscience data in times of declining resources, applications of new digital technologies to geoscience, and compatibility of data among government geoscience agencies across Canada. The primary goals of this project are to produce surficial geologic maps, reports, and a GIS database for 12 map sheets at a scale of 1:50,000. It is compiled as a resource or a base for a wide variety of users that require geoscience information for land-use decision-making, identification of natural hazards, to resource exploration. It is hoped that the information compiled for this CD-ROM will be useful for a variety of users to find their solutions to their problems.
