To make the Mineral Core Research Facility more relevant to industry, government and the public, Alberta Geological Survey will create a special collection of core samples from key stratigraphic units and mineral occurrences in Alberta.

A new compilation map displays Alberta's metallic mineral and diamond potential. The map displays more than 4000 deposits, occurrences and samples based on 50 industry and government sources.

This podcast discusses the evolution of the Albertosaurus and its discovery in Alberta.

Alberta Geological Survey examined the historical exploration of potash in Alberta, together with a preliminary investigation that included contouring Alberta's groundwater and formation water datasets.

For those interested in general or specific interest in types of hazards in Alberta, the Geological Hazards section has information for you on their website.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Alberta Geological Survey studied surface and subsurface geology in urban areas to provide information that would aid future development and land-use planning. This type of study has been re-initiated within the Geological Hazards Section with the first study focusing on the town of Peace River.

In 2008, AGS began collaborating with Alberta Environment to inventory saline and nonsaline groundwater within the Edmonton-Calgary corridor.

In June 1884, Tyrrell and his expedition team discovered a significant dinosaur graveyard. This would later become the site of the famous Tyrrell museum.

Alberta contains many incredibly varied geological wonders and in July 2009, we unveiled a prototype interpretive geological sign at Big Hill Springs Provincial Park.

Animation and 3-D visualization assist our geologists with sand and gravel mapping, and determining the aggregate resource potential of the area from Wetaskiwin to Lacombe.
