FOREWORD
GeoENV96, the First European Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental Applications
held in Lisbon, was conceived to bring together researchers, mostly from, but not limited to
Europe, working on environmental issues approached by geostatistical methods. Papers were
attracted from fields as diverse as hydrogeology. biology, soil sciences, air pollution or
ecology. It is clear that there is a lot of activity on geostatistics for environmental applications
as the collection of papers in this book reveals.
GeoENV96 was successful in the number and quality of the papers presented which surpassed
the initial expectations. There is still a large dispersion on the level of application of
geostatistics in the different areas. To help in spreading the most novel applications of
geostatistics across disciplines and to discuss the specific problems related to the application
of geostatistics to environmental applications, geoENV96 is intended to set the pace and to be
the first of a series of biennial meetings. The pace is set, now let us wait for geoENV98.
