The mining industry has become increasingly concerned with the effects of uncertainty and risk in resource modeling. Some companies are moving away from deterministic geologic modeling techniques to approaches that quantify uncertainty. Stochastic modeling techniques produce multiple realizations...

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...

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...

The earth’s crust and mantle is known to be anisotropic to the propagation of seismic waves. Despite this knowledge, the analysis and processing of seismic data still primarily assumes isotropy, an assumption that, in the context of active source seismic imaging, is an oversimplification that can...

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...

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...

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...

Chanasyk, D.S., Mapfumo, E., Chaikowsky, C.L.A.
Studies of spatial variability and simulation of available soil water and extractable soil water are scarce and yet such data are essential in hydrologic and solute transport modeling. A study was conducted to characterize spatial variability of available soil water and extractable soil water on...

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...

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...
