Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Environmental Statistics
About the Book Series
Statistical methods play an increasingly important role in the study of issues pertaining to the environment. As scientists gain access to larger and more complex datasets, the need for a solid understanding of statistics becomes more pressing. This series aims to capture new developments in statistical methodology with particular relevance to applications in the environmental sciences. It seeks to promote appropriate use of statistical methods in these sciences by publishing a broad range of reference works, textbooks and handbooks.
The scope of the series includes applications of statistical methodology to the study of climate change, atmospheric science, air and water pollution, natural resources, forestry, environmental health and ecology. The titles included in the series are designed to appeal to applied statisticians, as well as students, researchers and practitioners from the above disciplines. The inclusion of real examples and case studies is therefore essential.
A Bayesian Introduction to Fish Population Analysis
1st Edition
By Joseph E. Hightower
August 11, 2025
Fisheries science is an applied field. A biologist working on a depleted population might need to forecast the population trajectory or examine which factors are limiting recovery. For an exploited population, a biologist might investigate whether the fishery or the stock would be improved through...
Bayesian Applications in Environmental and Ecological Studies with R and Stan
1st Edition
By Song S. Qian, Mark R. DuFour, Ibrahim Alameddine
August 26, 2024
Modern ecological and environmental sciences are dominated by observational data. As a result, traditional statistical training often leaves scientists ill-prepared for the data analysis tasks they encounter in their work. Bayesian methods provide a more robust and flexible tool for data analysis, ...
Spatial Linear Models for Environmental Data
1st Edition
By Dale L. Zimmerman, Jay M. Ver Hoef
April 17, 2024
Many applied researchers equate spatial statistics with prediction or mapping, but this book naturally extends linear models, which includes regression and ANOVA as pillars of applied statistics, to achieve a more comprehensive treatment of the analysis of spatially autocorrelated data. Spatial ...
Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists
1st Edition
By James Thorson, Kasper Kristensen
February 27, 2024
Ecological dynamics are tremendously complicated and are studied at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Ecologists often simplify analysis by describing changes in density of individuals across a landscape, and statistical methods are advancing rapidly for studying spatio-temporal dynamics. ...
Evaluating Climate Change Impacts
1st Edition
Edited
By Vyacheslav Lyubchich, Yulia Gel, K. Halimeda Kilbourne, Thomas James Miller, Nathaniel K. Newlands, Adam B. Smith
September 25, 2023
Evaluating Climate Change Impacts discusses assessing and quantifying climate change and its impacts from a multi-faceted perspective of ecosystem, social, and infrastructure resilience, given through a lens of statistics and data science. It provides a multi-disciplinary view on the implications ...
Biometry for Forestry and Environmental Data: With Examples in R
1st Edition
By Lauri Mehtätalo, Juha Lappi
April 29, 2022
Biometry for Forestry and Environmental Data with Examples in R focuses on statistical methods that are widely applicable in forestry and environmental sciences, but it also includes material that is of wider interest. Features: · Describes the...
Sampling Techniques for Forest Inventories
1st Edition
By Daniel Mandallaz
September 19, 2019
Sound forest management planning requires cost-efficient approaches to optimally utilize given resources. Emphasizing the mathematical and statistical features of forest sampling to assess classical dendrometrical quantities, Sampling Techniques for Forest Inventories presents the statistical ...
Statistical Geoinformatics for Human Environment Interface
1st Edition
By Wayne L. Myers, Ganapati P. Patil
September 10, 2018
Statistical Geoinformatics for Human Environment Interface presents two paradigms for studying both space and interface with regard to human/environment: localization and multiple indicators. The first approach localizes thematic targets by treating space as a pattern of vicinities, with the ...
Statistics for Environmental Science and Management
2nd Edition
By Bryan F.J. Manly
November 03, 2008
Revised, expanded, and updated, this second edition of Statistics for Environmental Science and Management is that rare animal, a resource that works well as a text for graduate courses and a reference for appropriate statistical approaches to specific environmental problems. It is uncommon to find...
