UTILIZAÇÃO DE GEOESTATÍSTICA PARA O TRATAMENTO DE DADOS DE PROSPECÇÃO GEOQUÍMICA

Abstract

GEOSTATISTICS APPLICATIONS TO GEOCHEMICAL EXPLORATION DATA TREATMENT. The present work describes with minimum emphasis to mathematical formalism, the basic ideas of the Geostatistics theory (regionalized variables), and its possible applications to geochemical exploration data treatment. Some applications already used are cited and others are proposed, in response to the problems of interpreting gedchemical exploration data. The main objective is to spread and to motivate the use of Geostatistics by professionals involved in geochemical exploration. The available experimental data and the geostatistical model are in perfect agreement in this case.
