Solved Problems in Geostatistics brings together exercises and projects that demonstrate key principles and build strong bridges between theory and practice. Each chapter focuses on a comprehensive topic with examples and problems for a technologically evolving audience. Problems in each chapter are classifiedas analytical, numerical, or practical; exercises are identified as foundational, advanced, or esoteric. Objectives highlight important learning concepts. This hands-on, practical guide offers a supplement to any college-level geostatistics or spatial statistics course, a manual for a geostatistics lab course,or a reference for practicing statisticians.
