Geostatistics Workshop

What this workshop is about

Geostatistics is concerned with the analysis and modelling of spatial variability. It also addresses how quantified spatial variability can be used in optimal spatial interpolation and spatial stochastic simulation. Fields of application include geology, soil science, agronomy, ecology, forestry, hydrology, climatology, and geography. This workshop aims to provide participants with a background in standard geostatistical methods, such that they can apply these methods in their own research. The workshop is a mix of theory and practice, with exercises using the R language for statistical computing.

Who this workshop is for

The course is aimed at anyone interested in statistical modelling of spatially distributed variables. This includes participants such as statisticians who want to get acquainted with geostatistical theory or researchers in fields such as soil science or climatology who wants to apply geostatistical modelling in their work. The workshop is also open to MSc or PhD students. The only prior knowledge that is required is that participants are expected to have a good knowledge of basic statistics.
