Geostatistics: Modeling Spatial Uncertainty, Second Edition presents a comprehensive, up-to-date reference on the topic, now featuring the latest developments in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors explain both the theory and applications of geostatistics through a unified treatment that emphasizes methodology. Key topics that are the foundation of geostatistics are explored in-depth, including stationary and nonstationary models; linear and nonlinear methods; change of support; multivariate approaches; and conditional simulations. The Second Edition highlights the growing number of applications of geostatistical methods and discusses three key areas of growth in the field: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew results and methods, including kriging very large datasets; kriging with outliers; nonse parable space-time covariances; multipoint simulations; pluri-gaussian simulations; gradual deformation; and extreme value geostatistics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eNewly formed connections between geostatistics and other approaches such as radial basis functions, Gaussian Markov random fields, and data assimilation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew perspectives on topics such as collocated cokriging, kriging with an external drift, discrete Gaussian change-of-support models, and simulation algorithms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeostatistics, Second Edition is an excellent book for courses on the topic at the graduate level.
