The present relates generally to the field of quantitative sedimentologic and stratigraphic prediction in which errors, uncertainties, risk and accuracy are calculated. Specifically, geologic data observed or inferred from core, outcrop, well log and/or seismic data from particular locations, in conjunction with a stratigraphic forward model and an optimization technique (mathematical inverse algorithm), are used to predict stratigraphic and sedimentologic attributes at locations other than those at which data were collected. This is accomplished by inverting a stratigraphic/sedimentologic forward model with simultaneous multi-parameter inversion or other mathematical optimization technique, such that forward model predictions are forced to obtain a best match with observations. The geologic data used to constrain the inversion are a small sample set of the larger, complete, rock volume simulated by the model.
