Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

This course is dedicated to basic properties and modelling of natural objects. These problems can arise from other courses as well as from practice. The main emphasis lays in explanation of fundamental principles of geostatistical methods and of their general properties. The students learn how to decide which geostatistical procedure is a suitable tool for solving a specific problem. An important ingredient of the course is learning how to use existing software specialized for geostatistical computations, too. The first part of the course deals with basic geostatistical notions and with the way in which to understand these notions from both theoretical and practical points of view. In the second part of the course the students learn the geostatistical way of thinking as a mean of understanding real-life processes. The basic methods of collecting and analysing geo-data are introduced. The students are taught how to use these general methods to solve the problems arising from other courses of their study and from practice.
