The contributions in this volume were presented at the Fifth International Geostatistics Congress held in Wollongong, Australia, in September 1996. The papers provide a comprehensive account of the current methods and work in geostatistics, including recent theoretical developments and applications. Topics featured include: stochastic simulations, space-time modelling, Bayesian framework, marked point models, spatial sampling, image analysis, multifractal modelling, uncertainty assessment, support change and upscaling. The text should be of use to: researchers and practitioners working in quantitative modelling in earth sciences and engineering, including mining, petroleum, environmental sciences, hydrology, geotechnics, applied statistics and renewable resources.
