Organizer: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)

Venue: Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India

Description:

This course will introduce a suite of geostatistical methods for the spatial analysis of environmental data. Participants will learn how to apply geostatistics for the description of spatial patterns and identification of scales of variability, spatial interpolation and stochastic modeling of environmental attributes, creation of risk maps and their use in decision-making. After completion of this course you will be well prepared to import, visualize and analyze your own data in a space-time information system.

Course Topics

• What is Geostatistics?
• Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis

• Modeling the Spatial Variability
• Spatial Prediction
• Accounting for Secondary Information in Kriging
• Risk Mapping and Incorporation in Decision-making
• Stochastic Simulation
• Space-time Geostatistics
