The major obstacle to extensive use of cokriging for integration of multiple data types in estimation is the requirement of modeling a positive definite covariance matrix of size K by K including up toK different terms if K coregionalized variables are considered. In practice, this matrix is modeled using a linear model of coregionalization (LMC); each covariance is modeled by a different linea...

accurate knowledge of spatial distribution of soil physical and chemical properties is needed for suitable management and proper use of rangelands in masileh plain, qom, iran. in present study, for the spatial modeling of chemical and physical parameters such as sodium (na), calcium (ca), soluble potassium (k), magnesium (mg), electrical conductivity (ec), saturation percentage (sp%), silt, cla...

Abstract Climate change and human activities influence the development of ecosystems, with demand ecosystem services altering both land use cover. Fossil pollen records provide time series vegetation characteristics, aim this study was to create spatially continuous reconstructions cover through Holocene in southern Sweden. The Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm (LRA) applied obtain quantitativ...

Due to substantial effect of classification of resource models on future mine planning, one should come with an accurate method of estimation to guarantee that the minimum error is acquired in the estimation process. The known world class Cu-Mo deposit, Sarcheshmeh Porphyry deposit (central Iran) selected as the study area. The Hypogene zone of the deposit was chosen as the space in which estim...

This paper presents three multivariate geostatistical algorithms for incorporating a digital elevation model into the spatial prediction of rainfall: simple kriging with varying local means; kriging with an external drift; and colocated cokriging. The techniques are illustrated using annual and monthly rainfall observations measured at 36 climatic stations in a 5000 km region of Portugal. Cross...

changes in groundwater quality, is caused destruction of other resources, either directly or indirectly, due to bad management of groundwater extractions. considering the importance of groundwater resources, especially in arid and semiarid regions, this research was done to modeling the spatial distribution of some groundwater qualitative factors with emphasis on drinking using geostatistical m...
