The Freyja Project: quantifying how people make interpretations

Join the Freyja Project to help explore how geoscientists interpret geological data. We invite you to participate in a survey that quantifies the factors influencing interpretation, such as the breadth vs. length of experience. Your responses will be completely anonymous, and participation is voluntary. Please interpret the provided seismic image before completing the questionnaire. Your input is invaluable in understanding the reasoning skills vital for modern geoscience. For more details, visit www.ges.gla.ac.uk/postgraduates/emacrae or search for 'Euan Macrae'.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Please take part in the survey The Freyja Project: quantifying how people make interpretations Euan Macrae, 20th Jan 2010

  2. Background • Geological data is naturally under-constrained • More than one interpretation often fits the dataset • Interpretation is usually influenced by the interpreter’s prior knowledge • My PhD aims to quantify the factors which influence interpretation… For example, Is an interpreter’s breadth of experience more influential than their length of experience?

  3. About the Questionnaire… • The full range of experience levels is wanted • Responses to the questionnaire are completely anonymous • Participation is voluntary • This is an individual exercise – collusion will seriously affect the quality of the results • All questions should be completed Please interpret the seismic image first and then complete the questions afterwards.

  4. (Attendees then spent 15 minutes completing the questionnaire and seismic interpretation exercise…)

  5. 445 geoscientists – 1 dataset Pilot Study Results to be shown in Clare Bond’s talk: “When there isn’t a right answer: interpretation and reasoning, key skills for 21st century geoscience” More info:www.ges.gla.ac.uk/postgraduates/emacrae, or google ‘Euan Macrae’
