Celebrating Frits Agterberg’s half-century of publication activity in geomathematics, this volume’s 28 timely papers, written by his friends and colleagues, treat a variety of subjects of current interest, many of them also studied by Frits, including spatial analysis in mineral resource assessment, quantitative stratigraphy, nonlinear multifractal models, compositional data analysis, time series analysis, image analysis, and geostatistics. Professor Agterberg published his first paper as a graduate student in 1958 and has since produced (and continues to publish) a steady stream of research papers on a wide varietyof subjects of interest to geomathematical practitioners. Most of the papers included here address methodology and feature practical case studies, so that the book likely has broad appeal to those interested in mathematical geosciences, both to academic researchers seeking a comprehensive overview and to practitioners of geomathematical approaches in industry Reviews the development of mathematical applications in the geosciences over the last fifty years using Prof. Agterberg’s research as an anchor and reference point Presents the state of the art including resource assessment, nonlinear modeling, geostatistics and time series analysis Serves as both an account of 50 years of geomathematicsand as a survey of current methodology with case studies
