From the reviews: "'Geostatistics for Environmental Applications' collects the proceedings of the Fifth European Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications ... . In summary, this book is recommended to geostatistiscal practitioners in various environmental applications. It covers areas as diverse as ecology, air and health, groundwater, soil contamination, remote sensing, and environment." (Yuhong Liu, Computers & Geosciences, Vol. 33, 2007)
