The Geoscape Calgary poster uses over 30 diagrams, maps, and pictures in an attractive and colourful presentation of Earth materials and processes that have shaped Calgary's geological landscape, or Geoscape.
This product is intended not only to explain geological phenomena, but also to illustrate why we need an understanding of our geological landscape to make sustainable land-use decisions for Calgary's growing population.
The Geoscape Calgary area comprises the city of Calgary and its hinterland to the west, including Canmore and the Bow Valley, as well as Bragg Creek along the Elbow River Valley.
