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.
"It is a pleasure to read, both for and for the quality of productionI would certainly recommend it." (European Journal of Soil Science, No.52, 2001) ..".has an excellent focus and an effective organization...a great book for any statistician who works with environmental data..." (Technometrics, Vol. 43, No. 4, November 2001) "an invaluable reference" (Geoderma) "Presents methods of linear geostatistics primarily using least-squares estimation that can assist scientists struggling with sparse data for prediction and planning future surveys when resources are limited." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001) ..".this well-written and thorough book must surely make the learning process easier for environmental scientists..." (Short Book Reviews, Vol. 21, No. 3, December 2001) ..".an excellent monograph..." (Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 963, 2001/13) "a clear introduction...recommended for library purchase" (Geoscientist, April 2002) ..".a good practical guide to geostatistics..." (Computers & Geosciences, No.28, 2002) ..".a very readable book with a minimum of jargon and ample explanation of the mechanics and the context of geostatistics.... It is highly recommended."
