This thesis sets out a workflow to quantify uncertainty of the Arrow Deposit, a tabular, vein type, high-grade, basement-hosted, uranium deposit located on NexGen Energy Limited’s 100%-owned Rook I property in northern Saskatchewan. The uncertainty associated with the volume, grade, and density...

Quantifying uncertainty is key to rational decision‐making in a geological context. Samples collected for Mineral Exploration are usually sparse and only represent a very small portion of the volume that might be mined in the future. To characterize and quantify geological uncertainty, it is...

The validity and reliability of a test may be compromised because of the presence of misfitting response patterns in test data. Consequently, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of the inclusion and exclusion of misfitting response patterns on item parameter estimates...

Subsurface geological characterization requires solving a classification problem to obtain a model of facies that is later populated with continuous properties. The classification problem, which consists of assigning a single category to any unsampled location based on observed data, is analyzed...

Measurements in the process industry can arrive with fast or slow sampling rates. Fast measurements such as flowrate and temperature are sampled frequently and are obtained instantly after sampling. The slow measurements, which are usually related with chemical quality variables such as product...

Evaluating the resource contained in a precious metals deposit is a challenging task because they are often characterized by heavily-skewed grade distributions and outlier values. Traditional geostatistical modelling methods are difficult to apply in the presence of outlier values because they...

Managing the land properly should lead us to conserve the soil which is a critical substance for sustaining our life and the global society. Quantifying the effects of land management and land-use conversion on soil physical and biological properties can aid to identify best management practices...

Growth of the human population within the next half century is projected to reach a staggering quantity. Maintaining our food security for future generations without causing further environmental degradation in an ever dynamic landscape is a complex challenge, which may be partially remedied...

Natural attenuation refers to the observed reduction in contaminant concentration via natural processes as contaminants migrate from the source into environmental media. Assessment of the dimensions of contaminant plumes and prediction of their fate requires predictions of the rate of dissolution...

Resource evaluation of a mineral deposit is an important and challenging task. Traditional estimation methods provide a best estimate at the block scale based on available data. The pitfalls of histogram smoothing and conditional bias associated with these methods are well known. Quantifying...
