Title – Stochastic space-time models for environmental contamination assessment
Abstract – The primary objective of a stochastic approach is the development of space-time models for a selected set of attributes to define the distribution of natural resource content. In addition, characterization of natural processes often relies on scattered information on the processes to be characterized. The geostatistical methodologies aim to characterize the spatial dispersion of the properties under study and to evaluate the space-time associated uncertainty. Various case studies will be introduced and dully discussed.
