Books in the Applied Geostatistics series

Geostatistical simulations have the potential to be for the mining industry what a wind tunnel is for aircraft design. They allow mining engineers to evaluate the impact of various mining scenarios on the recovery of mineral reserves. This book is written by two expert geostatisticians - Journel is the pioneer of mining geostatistics - and established academics.

This text covers areas of geostatistical methodology, including: tools for description; quantitative modelling of spatial continuity; spatial prediction; and theoretical background for GSLIB programmes. Application is to environmental data, but the algorithms may be used in other disciplines.
