Geostatistics Tria '92: Volume 1 & 2 [Paperback]

The contributions in this book were presented at the Fourth International Geostatistics Congress held in Tr?ia, Portugal, in September 1992. They provide a comprehensive account of the current state of the art of geostatistics, including recent theoretical developments and new applications. In particular, readers will find descriptions and applications of the more recent methods of stochastic simulation together with data integration techniques applied to the modelling of hydrocabon reservoirs. In other fields there are stationary and non-stationary geostatistical applications to geology, climatology, pollution control, soil science, hydrology and human sciences. The papers also provide an insight into new trends in geostatistics particularly the increasing interaction with many other scientific disciplines.
This book is a significant reference work for practitioners of geostatistics both in academia and industry.
