Bedrock Geology

Bedrock Geology British Columbia Digital Geology is the data source used for the seamless province-wide, up-to-date, and detailed bedrock geology. The bedrock geology is standardized with consistent stratigraphic code and geometries, and integrates all details of compilations from 1:50,000 to 1:250,000. The latest release (Open File 2017-8) is maintained by a geospatial frame data model, which consists of attributed geological contacts and faults as linework, and outcrops or centroids as points attributed with bedrock information. Techniques are used to simplify the integration process and shorten the timeframe from field mapping, compilation, integration, to data delivery. The release also contains: tables for geological units and colours; ESRI layer files containing bedrock colour symbols; and a map of British Columbia illustrating the suggested colour theme for the bedrock polygons. Related data sets are Geology Faults and Quaternary Alluvium and Cover. Bedrock Geology is interactive with other geoscience data on MapPlace and MapPlace 2 and is available for download in shapefile format. 2024-02-21 Government of British Columbia Gabe.Fortin@gov.bc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technologybedrock geologydigital geologyfaultsgeology maplithologylithostratigraphyGovernment information Original metadata (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca)HTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bedrock-geology Download KML Ground Overlay fileKML https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/geo/layers/WHSE_MINERAL_TENURE.GEOL_BEDROCK_UNIT_POLY_SVW_loader.kml Bedrock Geology 2018 ShapefileSHP https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/ef8476ed-b02d-4f5c-b778-0d44c9126144/resource/aa3a15f8-02fe-49c6-836c-6866c326203d/download/bedrockgeology2018.zip Bedrock GeologyWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_MINERAL_TENURE.GEOL_BEDROCK_UNIT_POLY_SVW/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_MINERAL_TENURE.GEOL_BEDROCK_UNIT_POLY_SVW&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain Bedrock GeologyWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_MINERAL_TENURE.GEOL_BEDROCK_UNIT_POLY_SVW/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_MINERAL_TENURE.GEOL_BEDROCK_UNIT_POLY_SVW&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain bedrockgeology.xmlXML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/ef8476ed-b02d-4f5c-b778-0d44c9126144/resource/31f6fbb1-fa5c-477e-b252-0ddfe4201f3f/download/bedrockgeology.xml Current British Columbia Digital Geology Downloadother https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/mineral-exploration-mining/british-columbia-geological-survey/geology/bcdigitalgeology
