Description for Geostatistics for Environmental Scientists
Hardcover. There are many factors that environmental scientists should consider in their research. Weather and climate vary widely between locations, soil varies at every spatial scale at which it is examined, and even man-made attributes, such as the distribution of pollution, fluctuate significantly. Series: Statistics in Practice. Num Pages: 330 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBT; RN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 237 x 154 x 24. Weight in Grams: 626.
Geostatistics is essential for environmental scientists. Weather and climate vary from place to place, soil varies at every scale at which it is examined, and even man-made attributes – such as the distribution of pollution – vary. The techniques used in geostatistics are ideally suited to the needs of environmental scientists, who use them to make the best of sparse data for prediction, and top plan future surveys when resources are limited.
