This book provides a wealth of geomathematical case history studies
performed by the author during his career at the Ministry of
Natural Resources Canada, Geological Survey of Canada (NRCan-GSC).
Several of the techniques newly developed by the author and
colleagues that are described in this book have become widely
adopted, not only for further research by geomathematical
colleagues, but by government organizations and industry worldwide.
These include Weights-of-Evidence modelling, mineral resource
estimation technology, trend surface analysis, automatic
stratigraphic correlation and nonlinear geochemical exploration
methods. The author has developed maximum likelihood methodology
and spline-fitting techniques for the construction of the
international numerical geologic timescale. He has introduced the
application of new theory of fractals and multi fractals in the
geostatistical evaluation of regional mineral resources and ore
reserves and to study the spatial distribution of metals in rocks.
The book also contains sections deemed important by the author but
that have not been widely adopted because they require further
research. These include the geometry of preferred orientations of
contours and edge effects on maps, time series analysis of
Quaternary retreating ice sheet related sedimentary data,
estimation of first and last appearances of fossil taxa from
frequency distributions of their observed first and last
occurrences, tectonic reactivation along pre-existing schistosity
planes in fold belts, use of the grouped jackknife method for bias
reduction in geometrical extrapolations and new applications of the
theory of permanent, volume-independent frequency distributions.
