Description:

In practice, application of geostatistical theory requires an integrated toolbox of statistical, geostatistical, spatial analysis and visualization techniques. This approach to the application of geostatistics for subsurface characterization is the focus of Practical Geostatistics, from a description of the data structures required, through discussion of the concepts, theory and application, to qualification of the end results. The linked, hypertext document structure facilitates the integration of theoretical discussion with detailed worked examples and numerous color images of computer visualization. It also allows multi-level progression through Practical Geostatistics at an overview, theoretical, application or interactive review level, with numerous links between. The document structure facilitates access to Practical Geostatistics through standard Internet browser technology on any computer platform.

Keywords: 3D modeling, visualization, data structure, data management, risk analysis

System requirements: Practical Geostatistics is designed to be viewed with standard Internet browser technology on any platform. It is compatible with either Netscape Navigator (Version 4 or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer (Version 4.01 or later) running under Windows 95/98/NT, UNIX or Mac-OS. No installation is required, unless (optionally) you wish to install Practical Geostatistics on a hard disk drive. In this case create a new directory on the disk drive and copy the contents of the CD to the directory (approx. 30 MB of disk space is required). Java and JavaScript languages must be enabled in your browser preferences or options for Practical Geostatistics to operate successfully.
