Gordon Kaufman, Morris A. Adelman Professor of Management, Emeritus and Professor of Statistics at the MIT Sloan School of Management, presents "Reflections on 50 Years in a small corner of Geo-statistics" at the MIT Earth Resources Lab on October 28, 2015, presented by the MIT Mining, Oil, and Gas Club and the MIT Energy Club.

"Reflections on 50 Years in a small corner of Geo-statistics traces the development of probabilistic models designed to project amounts of undiscovered oil and gas remaining to be discovered in petroleum plays in a petroleum basin as a function of reconnaissance and drilling history from its origin in the 1940s to the present."
