Geostatistics for Environmental Scientists

The focus of the book remains straightforward linear geostatistics based on least-squares estimation. The theory and techniques have been around in mineral exploration and petroleum engineering for some four decades. 

SPATIAL STATISTICS GeoSpatial Information Modeling and Thematic Mapping

There is a need for such a book that can be used by people of different backgrounds and without advanced knowledge of geospatial information sciences such as remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS), and of quantitative methods including biometry, statistics, sampling methods and design, and geostatistics. 

Geographical Information Systems in Assessing Natural Hazards

PREFACE 

Natural catastrophes, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flash floods, volcanic eruptions, and landslides, have always constituted a major problem in many developing and developed countries. In recent years, the growth of population and the diffusion of settlements over hazardous areas have sharpened the impact of natural disasters worldwide. The United Nations in declaring the decade 1990-2000 as the International Decade
for Natural Disasters Reduction (IDNDR) has provided a unique opportunity for institutions and individuals to critically evaluate current methods for predicting natural catastrophes and mitigating their impact; and to investigate the potential of new technological advancements for improving hazard evaluation and risk reduction.
