The Geothermal Atlas of Alberta is a public, web-based geographic info system (GIS) software that gives geoscience knowledge and knowledge related to the evaluation of Alberta’s deep geothermal power potential, supporting the federal government and industries in creating geothermal power within the province. The Geothermal Atlas serves as a repository of GIS knowledge and knowledge merchandise associated to the geothermal power potential of the province of Alberta and is printed by the Alberta Geological Survey (AGS). All knowledge printed by the AGS are Open Information, free to make use of, re-use and redistribute by anybody beneath the Open Authorities License – Alberta. The info can be found in numerous codecs, together with CSV spreadsheets and gridded datasets. All our knowledge include full metadata data designed to offer customers with important info to judge the information suitability for the customers’ supposed objective.
