A digital inventory of the soils in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area / G. Soundarapandian [and four others].: Fo134-13/2019E-PDF
"The Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP), established in 1975, funded the creation of a soils inventory of the mineable Alberta oil sands, which was published as a set of eight soil map sheets with an accompanying report in 1982. These formed arguably the most comprehensive soils data set ever collected in the region and are of considerable value for environmental studies and reclamation efforts. This report describes the creation of a digital product containing these data, which was derived directly from the 1982 AOSERP map sheets and report and is freely available as a set of shapefiles and accompanying attribute databases for geographic information systems. The product includes a colored map showing soils classified by soil group, a coverage of soil polygons classified by dominant soil unit, soil unit characteristics derived from multiple tables, and a point coverage of soil-profile descriptions, with physical data, for specific locations in the study region"--Abstract, page iii.
