Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Fractals and Multifractals in the Geosciences details the application of fractal methods, including many novel ones developed by the author, along with an assessment of uncertainty in sample classification and stability of spatial patterns. The book also provides criteria for selection of the most effective combination of data pre-processing and fractal modelling to extract desired features or signals in the data. It specifically aims to introduce, apply, and test novel fractal models that account directly for changes in relationships between variables, as well as the effects of distance between samples and the source of anomalous metal contents in geoscience samples.

Linked to this is an assessment of the effects of different pre-processing of data prior to application of the models and quantification/model uncertainty in geochemical anomaly maps associated with sample classification and spatial interpolation. Gaussian simulations such as Sequential Gaussian Simulation and Monte Carlo Simulation are applied to the new fractal models developed, and a suite of existing models, including (simulated) concentration-area, spectrum-area, singularity and others are provided. This book will be invaluable for mathematical geoscientists, geostaticians, exploration geochemists, computational geoscientists, data analysts, and GIS professionals who need to better understand fractal geometry, along with its theory and applications in geochemical anomaly classification to generate maps that are helpful for decision-making for follow-up sampling and explorations.
