The petroleum geologist , whose ultimate goal is to determine the possible presence and extent of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon-bearing rocks in a basin, and the academic geologist, who may be concerned with any or all ...

The Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) [1] [2] underlies 1.4 million square kilometres (540,000 sq mi) of Western Canada including southwestern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, northeastern British Columbia and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories.
This is the category for geologic basins and geographical basins, including geologic oceanic basins, sedimentary basins, geologic depression basins, drainage basins (aka watersheds), and groundwater basins. Some of these are usually thought of in their two-dimensional representation as on a map, however they are all three-dimensional bodies.
