Its origins stem from the practical need to model spatial patterns and estimate values in unsampled locations within the mining industry. Over time, geostatistics has expanded beyond interpolation to include stochastic simulation and uncertainty quantification. Today, it is widely applied across various fields, including engineering, earth and environmental sciences, and health sciences. Common applications include mining, topographic surveys, environmental studies, soil and groundwater pollution mapping, hydrology, ecology, agriculture, meteorology, public health, and epidemiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color\"><strong>Course detailed Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color\">The course is organized in remote video-lessons that participants can follow independently within a three day access period.
