Reproducibility in Subsurface Geoscience by Michael J. Steventon, Christopher A-L. Jackson, Matt Hall, Mark T. Ireland, Marcus Munafo, Kathryn J. Roberts

“…Within geoscience, discussions and practical frameworks for reproducibility are in their infancy, particularly in subsurface geoscience, an area where there are commonly significant uncertainties related to data (e.g., geographical coverage). Given the vital role of subsurface geoscience as part of sustainable development pathways and in achieving Net Zero, such as for carbon capture storage, mining, and natural hazard assessment, there is likely to be increased scrutiny on the reproducibility of geoscience results. …”
