Short summary
Geological information for users such as planners, miners or engineers depends on limited observations and the interpretative skills of the geologist. It therefore has an attendant uncertainty which must be quantified so that the data user can account for it. In this paper, we describe an experiment to identify and quantify the sources of uncertainty in geologists' interpretations of boreholes along a cross section.
