Clayton Deutsch is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta. His research focuses on the development of best-practice methodologies for the prediction of geospatial variables and the quantification of uncertainty. He has undertaken theoretical advancements in modeling natural heterogeneity and uncertainty, employing high-order statistics and innovative computational techniques. His work encompasses mathematical methods that integrate various disparate data measurement techniques and address the complexities associated with geological modeling. His research includes applications in mining and petroleum, notably in the classification of resources and optimal planning for in-situ mining projects. Professor Deutsch's current research efforts are dedicated to characterizing the heterogeneity and uncertainty inherent in formations critical to Alberta, such as the Clearwater and Grossmont McMurray formations. He aims to construct high-resolution models to predict performance and assess resource reserves while developing practices for geomodeling that account for locally varying statistics and spatial variations in natural phenomena.
