On the Contribution of Hydrogeology to Advances in Geostatistics

  • Conference paper
geoENV III — Geostatistics for Environmental Applications

Part of the book series: Quantitative Geology and Geostatistics ((QGAG,volume 11))

Abstract

The specificity of some problems of hydrogeology and the variety of their solutions have contributed to the development of new geostatistical methods. This contribution is illustrated by prominent examples of several types of approach: adaptations of kriging and conditional simulations to a direct modelling of hydraulic head; early solutons to the inverse problem; stochastic inversion of hydrogeologic data in the framework of a linearized flow equation; stochastic inversion in the general case by means of iterative solutions coupling numerical analysis and geostatistics.
