Alberta’s Official Geological Survey

We are the official provincial geological survey of Alberta, operating under the guiding principles of the Canada Intergovernmental Geoscience Accord. This accord identifies provincial surveys as the principal stewards, resident authorities, and principal investigators for public geoscience. We are responsible for describing the geology and resources in the province, and for providing information and knowledge to inform resource opportunities, land use, environmental impact, public health, and safety issues related to geoscience.
