The contributions in this book were presented at the Fourth
International Geostatistics Congress held in Tróia, Portugal, in
September 1992. They provide a comprehensive account of the current
state of the art of geostatistics, including recent theoretical
developments and new applications. In particular, readers will find
descriptions and applications of the more recent methods of stochastic
simulation together with data integration techniques applied to the
modelling of hydrocabon reservoirs. In other fields there are stationary
and non-stationary geostatistical applications to geology, climatology,
pollution control, soil science, hydrology and human sciences. The
papers also provide an insight into new trends in geostatistics
particularly the increasing interaction with many other scientific
disciplines.
This book is a significant reference work for practitioners of
geostatistics both in academia and industry.
