is the name given to a particular group of techniques which
model spatial processes and allow estimation of values at unsampled
locations. In mining, geostatistics is extensively used in the field of
reserve valuation - the estimation of grades and other parameters from a
relatively small set of borehole or other samples. Originally developed in
mining, geostatistics is now widely used in many other fields. Obviously
there are geological and geographical applications. However, the techniques
are also used in such diverse fields as hydrology, ground water and air
pollution, soil science and agriculture, forestry, epidemiology and weather
prediction. This course is aimed at any professionals dealing with the estimation
from or interpolation between samples collected on a spatial basis. This is
not a course for specialist geostatisticians but
intended rather for those who wish to use geostatistics to enhance their
practical applications or research. No prior knowledge of statistics or geostatistics is assumed. A minimum
of mathematics is necessary to explain the techniques - mainly simple
algebra, up to the concepts of solving simple sets of simultaneous equations and differentiating
x². All lectures are augmented by desktop
exercises covering many different applications and candidates should come
equipped with a calculator capable of taking natural logarithms. Questions and discussions are actively encouraged and, indeed, form the
basis of a successful course. Full details on course content and course leaders |
