520 CANCELED Geostatistical Modeling of Geochemical Data.
Geologists use the spatially distributed point data sets for generating models for mineral exploration and environmental characterization of sites or similar other applications. Generally statistical analyses are used to characterize the site or deposit with statistical parameters and interpolated models such as contours are used for spatial modeling. The contouring involves "interpolation". The Geostatistical techniques are important in generating spatial models in two- or three-dimensional space with measures of accuracy and errors. In this short course, discussions will start with basic statistical analyses of a given set of data used as an example. The spatial data analyses topics will include simple non-geostatistical techniques such as inverse distance power and linear geostatistical interpolation technique, such as ordinary kriging. Using example data set and a freely available software tool, participants will be able to gain knowledge on spatial data analyses using couple of hands-on exercises. Participants are encouraged to use their own laptop computers or arrange to share the computers with other participants.
