We are Alberta's Geoscience Experts.
About us
We are your provincial geoscience experts. Building on over 100 years of history, the Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) provides geological information and advice about the geology of Alberta to the Government of Alberta, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER), industry, and the public to support the exploration, sustainable development, regulation, and conservation of Alberta's resources. The AGS is the official provincial geological survey of Alberta. It operates under the guiding principles of the Canada Intergovernmental Geoscience Accord, which identifies the provincial survey as being the principal steward, resident authority, and principal investigator for public geoscience. AGS is responsible for describing the geology and resources in the province and provides information and knowledge to help resolve land use, environmental, public health, and safety issues related to geosciences.

Explore the location of mineral occurrences and energy infrastructure in Alberta with the new Geology, Minerals, and Energy Infrastructure Interactive Mapping Application! This web-based interactive dashboard contains a combination of datasets from the Alberta Geological Survey, Alberta Energy Regulator and Government of Alberta, and enables users the ability to interact with these datasets all in a single, unified mapping application. Datasets available in this application currently include surficial geology, mineral occurrences, AER-regulated assets, energy agreements and more. This application provides an opportunity for users to choose and explore the various aspects of Alberta’s geology, minerals, and energy infrastructure data that they are interested to learn more about. A special thanks to the First Nations, Métis communities, and non-industry stakeholders across Alberta for their feedback and who helped shape this important new interactive tool. Access the application: https://lnkd.in/gRmtzq_K Watch the video tutorial on how to navigate the application: https://lnkd.in/gyCc45F3 Learn more about this application: https://lnkd.in/g38KZC7c #geology #science #minerals #ABEnergy #AGS #geologyrocks

Come check out our poster at #AMERoundup2024! “Critical Mineral Systems of the Alberta Shield —Summary of 2023 Field Activities”. The poster showcases the Alberta Geological Survey’s 2023 field work in northeastern Alberta, performed as part of the Mineral Mapping Program (https://lnkd.in/gAQfS7xk) . More detail can be found in the newly published report - Summary of 2023 Field Activities: Leland Lakes and Andrew Lake Areas, Canadian Shield, northeastern Alberta (https://lnkd.in/gF_cFij2). You can find the poster in Ballroom C at board 5, and we’ll be there at minimum during the daily networking sessions from 4-5 pm. We’re looking forward to chatting in the poster session and at the AGS and AER booths (#501 & #503)! #geology #science #minerals #ABEnergy #AGS #geologyrocks #AGSAER2024 #AMEroundup2024
