Geostatistics for Environmental Scientists by Richard Webster

This is a concise yet comprehensive guide to statistical methods and modelling techniques useful to environmental scientists. Starting at an elementary level, the book goes on to cover more advanced techniques, such as multivariate and non-linear geostatistics. Sufficient basic theory is given for each method to enable the reader to appreciate assumptions and constraints. Numerous examples and case studies are also included.
