Description:
Abstract:
This data set presents geoscience information of the Ottawa/Outaouais (Ontario/Québec) area including geological history, subsurface database, stratigraphy, bedrock, surficial and hydrogeology maps and reports. The geoscience information is compiled digitally in the form of point, line and polygon data.
Purpose:
To provide engineers, planners, decision makers, and the general public with the geoscience information required for sound regional planning in densely populated areas. The information also permits reasonable development of urban regions and disaster prevention, such as landslide hazards.
