Two stages of Stati ical 'devielopmentlare treated in the 'bibliography. They are 1)descriptive( statistics, in which the sample is the focus of interest, vld analytical statistics, in which the' population is the primary interest. For each of the sections, a short introductory statement is Ilade concerning the general nature of problems investigated using that technique, where applicable. The bibliography treats 34 catego#es of geographic statistical concepts, such as measurement, set thory, geographic data, geography matrix, computer applications, sample designs and methods, descriptive' statistics, index" construction, analysis of variance, geostatisstics,point pattern analysis, among others. Not included in the' bibliography are references to Sample space, expected Values, random variables, population and sampling distributions. Entries are listed alphabetically by author, and include the title, source, number of- pages, date, and place of publication.

An original -core listing expanded to almost four times its original size, reflecting an; attempt on my part to include references from areas of research which I normally did not cover in teaching, as well-as more recent work. The result has been a rather extensive coverage of many more topics than could be covered in the time available for a two-semester course. Perhaps the first twenty topics listed, together with simple correlation and regression, could be handled in such a time' period. The remaining topics would then form, background for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses. A caveat should be entered on the utility of such a bibliography., In my experience, any listing of reference material is of limited-value unless it is closely tied to a lecture series,andto exercises related to ,a particular topic. At various check-points in the development of the course it also seems valuable to ask for reading reports on a group of references, "bad" as well as "good," to validate student progress. In the early rush to print quantitatively oriented articles, it is now clear that some major problems in the application of statistical techniques to spatial data were not recognized. Ifdel it is important for the student 'to realize thismil therefore many of these early articles are included here. If these, criticisms are placed in the correct perspective of the development of the use oTsuch methods, as in Sections I3 In the Bibliography, then some degree of maturity tray have been attained in this branch of the subject. , The original set of references was drawn up for usein a course .entitled "Introduction to Geographic Theory and Quantitative Methods," to which students at McGill University, the University of California at Berkeley, and the

  • Geomathematics in Hungarian Geology
    JOURNAL OF HUNGARIAN GEOMATHEMATICS Volume 1 Geomathematics in Hungarian Geology George Bárdossy1 1Hungarian Academy of Sciences ([email protected]) Abstract The application of mathematical methods has a long tradition in Hungary. The main bases of geomathematics are the universities of the country, more closely the departments related to geology, such as general geology, stratigraphy, paleontology, structural geology, mineralogy, pet-rography, geochemistry, hydrogeology and applied geology. The Hungarian Geological Survey, the Geological Institute of Hungary and the Geochemical Research Laboratory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences are institutions where geomathematical methods found broad applications. Finally, some mining and exploration companies, like the Hungarian Oil Company (MOL), the Bakony Bauxite Mining Company and others are regularly using geomathematical methods, mainly for the evaluation of exploration results, for deposit and reservoir modelling and for the estimation of resources.

  • Seismic Wavefield Imaging of Earth's Interior Across Scales
    TECHNICAL REVIEWS Seismic wavefield imaging of Earth’s interior across scales Jeroen Tromp Abstract | Seismic full- waveform inversion (FWI) for imaging Earth’s interior was introduced in the late 1970s. Its ultimate goal is to use all of the information in a seismogram to understand the structure and dynamics of Earth, such as hydrocarbon reservoirs, the nature of hotspots and the forces behind plate motions and earthquakes. Thanks to developments in high- performance computing and advances in modern numerical methods in the past 10 years, 3D FWI has become feasible for a wide range of applications and is currently used across nine orders of magnitude in frequency and wavelength. A typical FWI workflow includes selecting seismic sources and a starting model, conducting forward simulations, calculating and evaluating the misfit, and optimizing the simulated model until the observed and modelled seismograms converge on a single model. This method has revealed Pleistocene ice scrapes beneath a gas cloud in the Valhall oil field, overthrusted Iberian crust in the western Pyrenees mountains, deep slabs in subduction zones throughout the world and the shape of the African superplume. The increased use of multi- parameter inversions, improved computational and algorithmic efficiency , and the inclusion of Bayesian statistics in the optimization process all stand to substantially improve FWI, overcoming current computational or data- quality constraints. In this Technical Review, FWI methods and applications in controlled- source and earthquake seismology are discussed, followed by a perspective on the future of FWI, which will ultimately result in increased insight into the physics and chemistry of Earth’s interior.

The paper presents technical application of TeX high-level, descriptive markup language for processing geological dataset from soil laboratory. Geotechnical measurements included equivalent soil cohesion, absolute and absolute deformation index, soil compressibility coefficient by time of immersion depth, exposure time to compressive strength to samples and physical and mechanical properties (humidity, density). Dataset was received from laboratory based experimental tests of the phys- ical and mechanical properties of soils. Data were converted to csv table and processed by LaTeX. Methodology is based on LaTeX packages: {tikz}, {tikz-3dplot}, {tikzpicture}, {pgfplot}, {filecontetns}, {spy} for 3D plotting showing correlation in variables and descriptive statistical analysis based on the data array processing. Results demonstrated LaTeX scripts and graphics: 2D and 3D scatterplots, ternaries, bar charts, boxplots, zooming techniques detailing fragment of the plot, flowchart. Research novelty consists in technical approach of TeX language application for geo- logical data processing and graphical visualization. Engineering graphics by TeX was demonstrated with screenshots of the codes used for plotting. Keywords: LaTeX, TeX, markup language, plotting, data visualization, data analysis, geotechnical modelling, soil compression, 3D modelling, 2D modelling 1. Introduction The presented research aims at the assessment of the soils properties in engineering and geological works where road construction is planned.

  • Geomathematics Meets Medical Imaging (GEMMI 2017)
    Workshop Geomathematics Meets Medical Imaging (GEMMI 2017) 5–8 September 2017 Hotel Speyer am Technik Museum Speyer, Germany Conference Guide The workshop is organized by the Geomathematics Group Siegen http://www.gemmi2017.de/ [email protected] 2 About GEMMI 2017 The occurring problems and challenges in geomathematics and in medical imaging as well as the methodologies for solving them have a lot of common aspects. It is not only the almost spherical shape of the objects under investigation which intercon- nects these fields of research. Also inverse problems play a central role in both areas with all its consequences like the need for regularization methods and the analysis of big data sets with spatial and temporal multiscale features. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in geomath- ematics or medical imaging. It is expected to inspire new research projects and to encourage new collaborations. It addresses geoscientists and applied scientists from medical imaging with interests in research on mathematical methodologies. In the same manner, mathematicians working in any of these applied areas are invited to participate in the workshop. 3 4 Contents 1. Programme 7 2. Information about the social programme 11 3.
