Basic Steps in Geostatistics: The Variogram and Kriging

This brief will provide a bridge in succinct form between the geostatistics textbooks and the computer manuals for `push-button' practice.  It is becoming increasingly important for practitioners, especially neophytes, to understand what underlies modern geostatistics and the currently availabl...
