| Title |
Geostatistics |
| Description |
Introduction to mathematical methods that model spatial processes and permit estimation of values at unsampled locations. Such methods are widely used in map-oriented geological applications involving geochemical, hydrological, paleoclimate, erosion-rate, soil composition and other data. Most geographic information systems (GIS) normally include geostatistical methods for this kind of data analysis and interpolation.
Basic geostatistical techniques for data analysis and interpolation are presented. This involves (1) statistical analysis of collected data to understand the connection between data values from place to place in a study area (variogram analysis), and (2) use of the estimated statistical properties to interpolate values at locations which have not been sampled (kriging). Exercises will use the popular program R, a free software environment (http://www.r-project.org). |
