Description
Book SynopsisThere are many factors that environmental scientists should consider in their research. Weather and climate vary widely between locations, soil varies at every spatial scale at which it is examined, and even man-made attributes, such as the distribution of pollution, fluctuate significantly.
Trade Review"This is certainly an invaluable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of spatial variation and environmental research." (
International Journal of Environmental and Analytical Chemistry, August 2008)
