One can appreciate the power and importance of conceptual graphics by flipping through the pages of a National Geographic magazine. Data visualization is inextricably linked to quantitative spatial data analysis - the two major forms of which, for the earth sciences, are statistical interpolation and modeling"-- Provided by publisher A reference for students, researchers, and environmental professionals, Hydrogeological Conceptual Site Models: Data Analysis and Visualization explains how to develop effective conceptual site models, perform advanced spatial data analysis, and generate informative graphics for applications in hydrogeology and groundwater remediation.
