Geostatistics is the name given to a particular group of techniques which model spatial processes and allow estimation of values at unsampled locations. Geostatistical estimation is a two stage process:

1. studying the gathered data to establish the predictability of values from place to place in the study area; and
2. estimating values at those locations which have not been sampled. This process is known as 'kriging'.

This course is aimed at any professionals dealing with the estimation from or interpolation between samples collected on a spatial basis. This is not a course for specialist geostatisticians but intended rather for those who wish to use geostatistics to enhance their practical applications or research.

No prior knowledge of statistics or geostatistics is assumed. A minimum of mathematics is necessary to explain the techniques - mainly simple algebra, up to understanding the concepts behind solving simple sets of simultaneous equations and differentiating x². Questions and discussions are actively encouraged and, indeed, form the basis of a successful course.
