geoENV VII Geostatistics for Environmental Applications [Paperback]

This volume brings together selected contributions from geoENV 2008, the 7th International Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications, held in Southampton, UK. It presents the state-of-the-art in geostatistics for the environmental sciences.

Preface Part I Biology Geostatistical modelling of wildlife populations: a non-stationary hierarchical model for count data Incorporating survey data to improve space-time geostatistical analysis of King Prawn catch rate Part II Climate Multivariate interpolation of monthly precipitation amount in the United Kingdom Extreme precipitation modelling using geostatistics and machine learning algorithms On geostatistical analysis of rainfall using data from boundary sites Geostatistics applied to the city of Porto urban climatology Integrating meteorological dynamic data and historical data into a stochastic model for predicting forest fires risk Part III Health Using geostatistical methods in the analysis of public health data: The final frontier? Second-order analysis of the spatio-temporal distribution of human campylobacteriosis in Preston, Lancashire Application of geostatistics in cancer studies Part IV Hydrology Blocking Markov chain Monte Carlo schemes for inverse stochastic modeling Simulation of fine-scale heterogeneity of meandering river aquifer analogues: comparing different approaches Application of multiple-point geostatistics on modelling groundwater flow and transport in a cross-bedded aquifer Part V Pollution Assessment of the impact of pollution by arsenic in the vicinity of Panasqueira mine (Portugal) Simulation of continuous variables at meander structures:application to contaminated sediments of a lagoon Joint space-time geostatistical model for air quality surveillance/monitoring system Geostatistical methods for polluted sites characterization Geostatistical mapping of outfall plume dispersion data gathered with an autonomous underwater vehicle Part VI Soils and Agiculture Chal“'
