". . . a readable, comprehensive volume that . . . belongs on
the desk, close at hand, of any serious researcher or
practitioner." --Mathematical Geosciences
The state of the art in geostatistics
Geostatistical models and techniques such as kriging and
stochastic multi-realizations exploit spatial correlations to
evaluate natural resources, help optimize their development, and
address environmental issues related to air and water quality, soil
pollution, and forestry. Geostatistics: Modeling Spatial
Uncertainty, Second Edition presents a comprehensive, up-to-date
reference on the topic, now featuring the latest developments in
the field.
The authors explain both the theory and applications of
geostatistics through a unified treatment that emphasizes
methodology. Key topics that are the foundation of geostatistics
are explored in-depth, including stationary and nonstationary
models; linear and nonlinear methods; change of support;
multivariate approaches; and conditional simulations. The Second
Edition highlights the growing number of applications of
geostatistical methods and discusses three key areas of growth in
the field:
* New results and methods, including kriging very large datasets;
kriging with outliers; nonse??parable space-time covariances;
multipoint simulations; pluri-gaussian simulations; gradual
deformation; and extreme value geostatistics
* Newly formed connections between geostatistics and other
approaches such as radial basis functions, Gaussian Markov random
fields, and data assimilation
* New perspectives on topics such as collocated cokriging, kriging
with an external drift, discrete Gaussian change-of-support models,
and simulation algorithms
Geostatistics, Second Edition is an excellent book for courses
on the topic at the graduate level. It also serves as an invaluable
reference for earth scientists, mining and petroleum engineers,
geophysicists, and environmental statisticians who collect and
analyze data in their everyday work.
