Chapters 2 and 5 have been extensively revised and a new chapter "Introduction to Advanced Geostatistics" has been added. Also new are the "Review Questions" at the end of each chapter.
Audience:
This book will be of interest to post-graduate students and researchers in Earth sciences.
- Written from the perpective of the mining industry
- Includes codes for six computer programs
- Worked examples and review questions are added at the end of each chapter
From the reviews of the previous edition:
... It would be particularly useful as a quick reference text and, along with others of its ilk, as a resource for individuals who might want to ramp up quickly in the field of geostatistics.
