Abstract

This grid dataset is  a rendering of the thickness and distribution of sediment overlying the bedrock topography in the Edmonton–Wabamun regional hydrostratigraphic investigation area. The thickness and distribution of sediments overlying the bedrock surface in the Edmonton–Wabamun area is highly varied, ranging from less than 1 m to as much as 114 m. These sediments include Neogene fluvial deposits, glaciogenic materials deposited during Quaternary glaciation, as well as postglacial sediments.

The grid was modelled using a 200 m grid cell spacing, and should not be used for local-scale studies requiring a higher spatial resolution.
