Geostatistical methods for geophysics

Provide the students with a basic knowledge of geostatistical methods for the estimate and the simulation of time varying (time series) and/or spatially distributed geophysical and environmental quantities.

1. Ability of critical comprehension of scientific papers and books for an enhanced knowledge of the
topics presented during the lectures;
2. Ability of critical analysis of technical reports that include results obtained with statistical analysis
tools of time series and/or spatially distributed geophysical/environmental data.;
3. Ability to properly set up a statistical analysis of geophysical/environmental data;
4. Ability to apply the main geostatistical techniques to interpolate, simulate or reconstruct time
series or spatially distributed variables.
