Understanding
Contouring.
The
book for learning how to effectively use computer
algorithms to produce contours. Includes how-tos,
why-tos, and when-tos about seven
of the most used contouring methods. A special
section is included about geostatistics with more
tips about kriging and how to interpret variograms.
Hand
and computer contouring methods and techniques
are covered. Includes summary of the most commonly
used computer algorithms and advantages and disadvantages
of each. Discusses how to make your computer contour
map look like a hand-drawn map and keep out extraneous
mythical contours. Also included is a complete
section on variogram calculation (the first step
in geostatistical evaluation) in 2 and 3 dimensions.
This tutorial style section leads the user through
the practical steps to calculating and interpreting
variograms - the most crucial step in geostatistics.
The guide is designed for earth scientists who
want to learn how to use geostatistical techniques.
Expected publication date: Summer 1996.

for estimating reserves are tested to determine
accuracy of techniques. Techniques used: proximal
polygons, triangular, cubic splines, inverse distance,
ordinary linear kriging.
Price:
$15 ($20 outside North America).
