Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Environmental Statistics

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.
