Description

Geostatistics, Modeling and Analysis is a series of two courses that provides a practical application reference for students and practicing geoscientists concerned with 3D characterization of subsurface conditions. It provides the knowledge and background to allow useful application of geostatistics, integrated with 3D modeling and spatial analysis, in the furtherance of geoscientific objectives.

Application of geostatistics in the geosciences started in the mining sector but now has significant applications in the environmental, petroleum, and geotechnical sectors. Applications include evaluation of a mineral deposit or oil reservoir, assessment of subsurface contamination, or characterization of geotechnical conditions.

In practice, application of geostatistical theory requires an integrated toolbox of statistical, geostatistical, geological, spatial analysis, and visualization techniques. The Geostatistics, Modeling and Analysis courses focus on the integrated approach to apply geostatistics for subsurface characterization, from a description of the data structures required, through discussion of the concepts, theory, and application, to qualification of the end results with worked examples.

The courses emphasize the practical application of geostatistics and limit the presentation of geostatistical theory to the level required for a solid understanding of the techniques involved.

Geostatistics, Modeling and Analysis 1 - Data Structures and Theory is the first course in the series. It introduces geostatistics, data types and structures, and covers the basic concepts and theory of geostatistics. It then discusses the integration of geology with geostatistics and explains this through worked examples.

While content was a good introduction to the principles of the subject, it was very dry and difficult to maintain focus. Paragraph texts did not correlate well with images/figures and sometimes felt like two simultaneous conversations. Could be much improved by inclusion of video recordings with examples or summary of each section prior to each exam. Good exams usually provide the correct answer and short reasoning why an answer is right or wrong. The exams in this course provided the correct answer, but no further input or explanations. Overall experience akin to reading a long-winded scientific journal.

It was an interesting course. It was very enlightening to see how geostatistics differs from statistics. The definition of the data structures could have been clearer to me or illustrated with a number of examples
