✦ Synopsis

Exploration for natural resources is accomplished through partial sampling of extensive domains. Such imperfect knowledge is subiect to samolina error. Comolex svsterns of eouations resultina from modeling based on the theory of "correlated kandoln fields ar; reduced to simple analytical expressions providing global indices of estimation variance.

The indices are utilized by multiple objective decision criteria to find the best sampling strategies. The approach is not limited by the geometric nature of the sampling, covers a wide range in spatial continuity and leads to a step-by-step procedure.
