loopUI-0.1: indicators to support needs and practices in 3D geological modelling uncertainty quantification

Abstract. To support the needs of practitioners regarding 3D geological modelling and uncertainty quantification in field, particular from mining industry, we propose a Python package called loopUI-0.1 that provides set local global indicators to measure features dissimilarities among an ensemble voxet models. Results are presented survey launched mineral enquiring about their practice needs. It reveals acknowledge importance even if they do not perform it. A total four main factors preventing performing were identified: lack data quantification, (computing) time requirement generate one model, poor tracking assumptions interpretations relative complexity quantification. The paper reviews proposes solutions alleviate these issues. Elements answer problems already provided special issue hosting this more expected come.
