This reference work contains the definition of numerous geostatistical terms of varying levels of complexity. The text is cross-referenced for ease of use and contains lists of equivalent terms in Chinese, French, German, Greek, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

Geostatistical Analysis of Compositional Data provides a comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of analysis of data that have both spatial and compositional dependence, characteristics of most earth science and environmental measurements. No other publication covers this combination of subjects.

This volume consists of research papers written by leading practitioners of mathematical geology worldwide. The papers cover applications of computers, statistics and mathematics in all branches of the geological sciences, including stratigraphic analysis, modelling and petrography.

This volume contains the personal experiences of a resource analyst, which led to major contributions in the modelling and forecasting of petroleum discovery rates and of the potential oil and gas supply.
