Weather and climate vary from place to place, soil varies at every scale at which it is examined, and even man-made attributes--such as the distribution of pollution--vary. The techniques used in geostatistics are ideally suited to the needs of environmental scientists, who use them to make the best of sparse data for prediction, and top plan future surveys when resources are limited.'--EBL choice UR - https://eresourcesptsl.ukm.remotexs.co/user/login?url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9780470517277 ER -
