It is now nearly 25 years since the first textbook on geostatistics
("Traitj de gjostatistique appliquje" by G. Matheron) appeared in
print in 1962. In that time geostatis tics has grown from an arcane
theory regarded with scepticism by statisticians and miners alike,
to a reputable scientific disci pline which is routinely used in
the geosciences. In the mining industry, in particularly,
comparisons between predicted reserve estimates and actual
production figures have proved its worth. Few now doubt its
usefulness as a statistical tool in the earth sciences. Over the
past quarter of a century, many geostatistical case studies have
been published but the vast majority of these are routine
applications of kriging. Our objective with this volume is to
present a series of innovative applications of geostatistics. These
range from a careful variographic analysis on uranium data, through
detailed studies on geologically complex deposits right up to the
latest nonlinear methods applied to deposits with highly skew data
distributions. Applications of new techniques such as the external
drift method for combining well data with seismic information have
also been included. Throughout the volume the accent has been put
on how to apply geostatistics in practice. Notation has been kept
to a mininmum and mathematical details have been relegated to
annexes. We hope that this will encourage readers to put the more
sophis ticated techniques into practice in their own fields."
