Description: geoENV I Geostatistics for Environmental Applications by A.O. Soares, Jaime Gómez-Hernández, Roland Froidevaux The book presents a set of geostatistical tools and approaches used to successfully resolve a variety of specific problems in environment modelling. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This volume contains selected contributions from the geoENV96 - First European Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications, held in Lisbon in November 1996. It is the first of a geoENV series of biennial planned books. The series is intended to show the state of the art of geostatistics in environmental applications with new cases, results and relevant discussions from leading researchers and practitioners around the world. Theoretical and practical developments of geostatistics in the environmental field were compiled from three main areas: hydrology, groundwater and groundwater contamination; soil contamination and site remediation; air pollution, ecology and other applications. The book presents a set of geostatistical tools and approaches used to resolve a variety of specific problems in environment modelling, especially those resulting from the typical scarcity of spatial sampling, the time component of very dynamic systems, the modelling of various systems of contaminants, the uncertainty assessment of health cost functions.Prominent topics concerning methodological tools and methods, stochastic simulation techniques, models of integrating soft information (seismic and remote sensing images), inverse modelling of groundwater flow, neural network classification, change of support and up-scaling are also included in this volume.

Review `The book is a valuable text for advanced students and research scientists in very different fields as biology, soil science, hydrogeology, ecology. Libri Ricevuti Long Description GeoENV96, the First European Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications held in Lisbon, was conceived to bring together researchers, mostly from, but not limited to Europe, working on environmental issues approached by geostatistical methods. Papers were attracted from fields as diverse as hydrogeology. biology, soil sciences, air pollution or ecology. It is clear that there is a lot of activity on geostatistics for environmental applications as the collection of papers in this book reveals. GeoENV96 was successful in the number and quality of the papers presented which surpassed the initial expectations. There is still a large dispersion on the level of application of geostatistics in the different areas. To help in spreading the most novel applications of geostatistics across disciplines and to discuss the specific problems related to the application of geostatistics to environmental applications, geoENV96 is intended to set the pace and to be the first of a series of biennial meetings. The pace is set, now let us wait for geoENV98.
