Table of ContentsPreface; 1. Introduction; 2. Statistical models and methods; 3. Decision analysis; 4. Spatial modeling; 5. Value of information in spatial decision situations; 6. Earth sciences applications; 7. Problems and projects; Appendix. Selected statistical models and sampling methods; References; Index.Reviews'The book's authors have made a mindful attempt at teaching a relatively complicated topic, and one of growing importance, to a non-expert audience composed of geoscientists. … This book is written while keeping researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in earth-science-related industries in mind. Hence, the mathematical rigor is kept at a level that is appropriate for such an audience, without too much emphasis on details. It is a well-organized volume that uses a number of numerical examples to illustrate the applicability of VOI analysis to earth-science problems. Additional data sets and Matlab codes are available as online supplementary material. Hence, it is well suited for self-learning. … I strongly recommend it to anyone using or researching the application of decision analysis techniques like VOI analysis in managing earth resources.'
