The 3D Provincial Geological Framework Model of Alberta, Version 2: updating a province-wide 3D geocellular model to incorporate 30 new model zones

The three-dimensional Provincial Geological Framework Model of Alberta (3D PGF model) is an ongoing modelling effort at the Alberta Geological Survey (AGS). It provides a geological framework for all stakeholders and is used to deliver geological information and convey geological understanding in a representational three-dimensional geospatial environment.
The objective of updating the 3D PGF model is to ensure that it represents our current understanding of Alberta’s regional-scale subsurface geology.  The evolution of the 3D PGF model  includes adding stratigraphic resolution by incorporating additional zones to those found in previous 3D PGF models or reducing the subsurface uncertainty of zones already modelled.
