In modern society, we are ever more aware of the environmental
issues we face, whether these relate to global warming, depletion
of rivers and oceans, despoliation of forests, pollution of land,
poor air quality, environmental health issues, etc. At the most
fundamental level it is necessary to monitor what is happening in
the environment - collecting data to describe the changing scene.
More importantly, it is crucial to formally describe the
environment with sound and validated models, and to analyse and
interpret the data we obtain in order to take action.
"Environmental Statistics" provides a broad overview of the
statistical methodology used in the study of the environment,
written in an accessible style by a leading authority on the
subject. It serves as both a textbook for students of environmental
statistics, as well as a comprehensive source of reference for
anyone working in statistical investigation of environmental
issues. Provides broad coverage of the methodology used in the
statistical investigation of environmental issues. Covers a wide
range of key topics, including sampling, methods for extreme data,
outliers and robustness, relationship models and methods, time
series, spatial analysis, and environmental standards. Includes
many detailed practical and worked examples that illustrate the
applications of statistical methods in environmental issues.
Authored by a leading authority on environmental statistics.
