geoENV VI Geostatistics for Environmental Applications [Hardcover]

This volume contains 40 selected full-text contributions from the Sixth European Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications, geoENV IV, held in Rhodes, Greece, October 25-26, 2006. The objective of the editors was to compile a set of papers from which the reader could perceive how geostatistics is applied within the environmental sciences. A few selected theoretical contributions are also included.

Environment and Health.- Geostatistical Analysis of Health Data: State-of-the-Art and Perspectives.- Early Detection and Assessment of Epidemics by Particle Filtering.- Improvement of Forecast Noise Levels in Confined Spaces by Means of Geostatistical Methods.- Geostatistical Modeling of Environmental Sound Propagation.- Geostatistical Estimation of Electromagnetic Exposure.- How Spatial Analysis Can Help in Predicting the Level of Radioactive Contamination of Cereals.- Stochastic Modelling Applied to Air Quality Space-Time Characterization.- Automatic Mapping Algorithm of Nitrogen Dioxide Levels from Monitoring Air Pollution Data Using Classical Geostatistical Approach: Application to the French Lille City.- King Prawn Catch by Grade Category from an Economic and a Stock Management Perspective.- Hydrology.- Machine Learning Methods for Inverse Modeling.- Statistical Moments of Reaction Rates in Subsurface Reactive Solute Transport.- Including Conceptual Model Information when Kriging Hydraulic Heads.- Effect of Sorption Processes on Pump-and-Treat Remediation Practices Under Heterogeneous Conditions.- A Stochastic Approach to Estimate Block Dispersivities that Includes the Effect of Mass Transfer Between Grid Blocks.- Fracture Analysis and Flow Simulations in the Roselend Fractured Granite.- Assessment of Groundwater Salinisation Risk Using Multivariate Geostatistics.- A MultiGaussian Kriging Application to the Environmental Impact Assessment of a New Industrial Site in Alcoy (Spain).- Hydrogeological Modeling of Radionuclide Transport ilS_
