Handbook

This subject covers fundamental concepts and algorithms in geostatistics in the context of spatial modelling applied to geosciences. Students will acquire foundational knowledge in spatial continuity modelling and estimation required to become competent practitioners. Students will develop in-depth practical skills in exploratory data analysis, variography, and different estimation algorithms. On completion of this subject, students will be able to select, apply, validate, and evaluate appropriate geostatistical approaches to characterise and quantify the spatial distribution of an attribute.
