Fall 2023
Calculating and modeling a variogram from sparsely sampled data can be complex and time-consuming due to the need for expertise in selecting the appropriate parameters and fitting functions to the experimental variogram. To assist with variogram modeling, a novel approach based on Convolutional...

Spring 2024
The variogram characterizes the spatial variability of a regionalized variable. Variogram calculation and modeling require a significant amount of professional time. The variogram has a significant impact on estimation and simulation, and it has a considerable impact in the mining industry since...

Comparison of 2D and 3D uncertainty quantification in geostatistical modeling in stratigraphic formations
DownloadFall 2023
Under suitable geological conditions and depending on the modeling goals at the project’s current phase, a geological modeler could justifiably choose to estimate natural resource concentrations by building geostatistical models on a 2D grid rather than a 3D grid. While the application of these...

Data Driven Decisions of Stationarity for Improved Numerical Modeling in Geological Environments
DownloadSpring 2019
Generating representative models of geological domains is critical for decision making and process optimization in natural resource exploitation. Partitioning geological datasets is an important step undertaken early in geostatistical analysis to ensure that subsequent modeling stages consider...

Design, Simulation and Evaluation of Effective Industrial Information Systems: Case of Machine Condition Monitoring and Maintenance Management Information Systems
DownloadFall 2013
Industrial information systems can improve the management of industrial operations by providing relevant and timely information on the status of physical assets via condition and process monitoring systems, and by enabling the effective use of data by systems and processes that restore proper...

Development of a GIS Water Table Visualization Tool (WTVT) for Determining Water Table Position in Heterogeneous Landscapes in the Boreal Plains Ecozone, Alberta
DownloadFall 2015
The Boreal Plain is currently undergoing an unprecedented rate of land use change from oil and gas extraction as well as forestry. This change needs to be managed responsibly to ensure the long term sustainability of the region, both ecologically and economically. As part of this understanding...

Development Of Shrub And Lichen-Dominated Biocrust Propagation And Establishment Techniques For Reclamation In Northern Environments
DownloadSpring 2022
Resource exploration and extraction in the arctic causes long lasting disturbances as natural recovery is a long and slow process in the north. With three Canadian diamond mines expected to close in the next fifteen years, many hectares of land will require revegetating. Research conducted in the...

Diversity of wetland non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) and their responses to environmental factors in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2016
Wetlands provide a wide range of services, including improving water quality, providing habitats for wildlife, and storing floodwaters. In Alberta, wetlands cover about 21% of the landscape of the province. In Alberta, as elsewhere, wetlands have suffered from human activities and many have...

Spring 2021
Different quantities of information are available at various stages of the development of a mining project. Consequential decisions are made given the data available at the time. Geological uncertainty due to sparse data presents economic risks. The collection of additional information reduces...
