Probability, Statistics, and Geostatistics for Environmental Professionals
This three-day course fosters a broad understanding of the basic
statistical tools needed to teach and assist environmental
professionals in drawing statistically valid conclusions from
environmental monitoring data. Major types of uncertainties present in
environmental sample data and methods for quantifying these
uncertainties are defined and discussed. Participants should have a
scientific or engineering background, feel comfortable working with
simple mathematical equations (no advanced calculus needed), and have
taken an introductory course in statistics/probability. This course
will be useful to regulators, consultants, contractors, and researchers
involved in collecting, interpreting, and analyzing environmental data.
