The amount of data gathered on a range of environmental parameters has significantly increased. This has been accompanied by the introduction of personal computers in the analytical laboratory, the expanding automation of sampling and analytical devices and the rapid adoption of remote sensing techniques. Raw data, however, convey very little readily assimilated information: it is only when they are analyzed, tabulated, displayed and presented can they serve the scientific and management functions for which they were collected. This text provides the environmental scientist with descriptions of the methods required to turn basic data into visually intelligible and useful information. From essential statistical techniques to graphical presentation and methods of analyzing and determining errors and detection limits, experts in each subject explain in detail the principles and applications. These are supported by examples to illustrate the use of particular techniques.

Condición: Very Good. 309, text figs. . HB. Vg. Small ownership stamp of Sammy de Grave, specialist in Decapod Crustacea at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. An early contribution to the developing field of environmental data analysis, bringing together statistical and graphical methods specifically applicable to environmental monitoring and assessment. Published at a time when automated sampling, computerised analytical techniques and remote sensing were producing rapidly increasing quantities of environmental data, the work addresses the problem of converting such raw observations into scientifically useful information. Contributions cover statistical analysis, regression and correlation, multivariate methods, time-series analysis, graphical presentation, analytical error, detection limits and quality assurance.
