Geostatistics for Environmental Applications Proceedings of the Fift
Once applied only to problems of mining-reserves assessment or petroleum-reservoir characterization, geostatistics is now being used in an increasingly large number of disciplines in environmental sciences. On the one hand, it enables the analysis and han

Foreword While the society becomes everyday more aware of environmental problems, the experts have to deal with a major issue: uncertainty due to incomplete data sets and spatio-temporal variability. Among the techniques used to quantify this uncertainty and to improve environmental management, geostatistics is becoming a recognized standard, applied in fields as different as hydrogeology, remote sensing, ecology or soil contamination. In recent years, the domain of application of these techniques has regularly grown together with the wide availability of Geographical Information Systems and geostatistical software packages. This book is the outcome of the fifth edition of the European Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications (geoENV V) held in Neuchâtel (Switzerland) from October 13th to October 15th, 2004. The conference attracted more than 100 participants, mostly from Europe, but also from North America, South America, North Africa, Russia and Australia. Among the 140 abstracts submitted to the conference, the organization committee selected 53 for oral presentation
