Geological Highway Map of Alberta (HWY1)

It's back... and it's better! The revised highway map is based on the new, recently published Geological map of Alberta produced by the Alberta Geological Survey. Material for the map has also been provided by the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and the Provincial Museum of Alberta. What's more, it works hand in hand with the very popular A Traveller's Guide to Geological Wonders of Alberta – highlighting a number of the sites detailed in the book. The new highway map includes sections on:

- basic geological concepts such as the geological cycle, plate tectonics and glaciation
- the impact of resource industries on the Alberta economy
- detailed maps of the highway routes through the Rockies
- detailed stratigraphic columns
- a map of basement tectonic elements
- cross-sections of the geology
- photographs and diagrams of key geological features with brief explanations

This map will be of interest to CSPG members, students, professional geoscientists, tourists and the general public!
