SPECIALIZED SHORT COURSE:=20
We are pleased to announce the Short Course Geostatistical Analysis of
Environmental Data to be instructed by one of the foremost scientists in =
the
field of theoretical and applied geostatistics, Dr. Pierre Goovaerts, =
author
of "Geostatistics for Natural Resources Evaluation", an advanced-level
introduction to geostatistics and geostatistical methodology.=20
COURSE DATES:=20
Monday - Friday, August 8-12, 2005=20
COURSE LOCATION:=20
GIS Lab in McCarty Hall B on the University of Florida campus, in
Gainesville, FL=20

COURSE OBJECTIVE:=20
This short course will introduce a suite of geostatistical methods for =
the
spatial analysis of environmental data. Participants will learn how to =
apply
geostatistics for the description of spatial patterns and identification =
of
scales of variability, spatial interpolation and stochastic modeling of
environmental attributes, creation of risk maps and their use in
decision-making. Lectures will alternate with analysis of environmental =
data
using the Stanford Geostatistical Modeling Software (S-GeMS) and the
TerraSeer Space-time Information System (STIS).
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING:=20
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:=20
1. Import, visualize and analyze your own data in a space-time
information system.=20
2. Conduct a complete geostatistical analysis using the new software
developed at Stanford University.=20
3. Detect spatial outliers in your data.=20
4. Analyze and model the spatial variability of your data.=20
5. Map sparsely sampled environmental attributes, and characterize the
reliability of those maps.=20
6. Choose the interpolation technique that makes best use of the
information available.=20
7. Create risk maps, and use them in decision-making.=20
8. Gain a basic understanding of state-of-the-art geostatistical methods
for stochastic simulation and space-time interpolation.=20
9. Explore and visualize local relationships between environmental
variables.=20
10. Conduct a critical reading of the current geostatistical literature. =
