3D Geological Model of West-Central Alberta (dataset, multiple files)

The 3D geological model of west-central Alberta (WCAB) is composed of 49 geological horizons and covers 43 141.58 square kilometres of the province of Alberta.

The model is available in the following formats for download:
1) a tab-delimited tabular dataset of stratigraphic picks and point data used to create the model,
2) a deconstructed model dataset composed of discrete and continuous model horizons as Esri format grids and zone model shapefiles, 
3) the Petrel model files, and;
4) an iMOD model dataset package.

The methods used to create the model and more information about these data is provided in the included report: 3D Geological Model of West-Central Alberta – Methodology and Metadata.
