Description:
Abstract:

This GIS dataset is part of a digital compilation of the bedrock geology of Alberta. It is one of the datasets used to produce Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) Map 600.

This dataset contains polygons representing the location and diameter of the Steen River, Eagle Butte, and Bow City meteorite impact craters (astroblemes).

The data were created in geodatabase format and output for public distribution in shapefile format.

AGS Open File Report 2013-02 presents additional information on data sources related to this dataset.

Purpose:
To update the bedrock geology of Alberta on a provincial scale and to use this information in a geographic information system.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report:
This is a topologically correct dataset. We made an effort to manually eliminate any existing overlaps or blank records.
Completeness Report:
The locations of the Steen River and Eagle Butte astroblemes have been know for some time and are represented on Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) Map 236. The location of the Bow City impact crater is described in AGS Open File Report 2010-10.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: We estimate the positional accuracy of the dataset to be better than +/- 2000 m.
Lineage:
Process Step:
Process Description:

To produce this dataset, we combined digital versions of 2 existing areas into an Alberta-wide GIS dataset. We processed the data as follows:

1. Collected and assessed input data. This involved collecting datasets from various sources, assessing quality, and standardizing the attribute table in the ArcGIS environment.

2. Created a standard provincial schema to house selected original and new map attributes.

3. Merged input data into one seamless layer.
