Three‐Dimensional Analysis of Heat Tracer Transport With High‐Resolution Subsurface Heterogeneity Characterization in a Complex Aquifer System

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Accurate predictions of tracer transport in complex aquifer systems remain a formidable challenge, primarily owing to the spatial heterogeneity of hydraulic conductivity (K). Here, we conducted a forced‐gradient heat tracer test within a highly heterogeneous glaciofluvial deposit, injecting chilled water and monitoring temperature at depth ...

Soil Lead Risks Associated With Urbanization Histories in Springfield MA and Hartford CT, USA

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Due to legacy leaded products, soil Pb is generally higher in older urban centers triggering substantial implications for environmental equity. By integrating a gridded soil Pb analysis of about 150 samples each in two historically industrial cities (Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA) with block‐level census data, we tested the hypotheses that (

Evaluation of geostatistical method and hybrid artificial neural network with imperialist competitive algorithm for predicting distribution pattern of Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) in cucumber field of Behbahan, Iran

open access: yesPersian Journal of Acarology, 2017
In this study, the statistical methods and artificial neural network (ANN) were used to estimate the spatial distribution of Tetranychus urticae in cucumber field of Behbahan, Iran.

Spatial Ecology and Habitat Selection by Jaguars and Pumas in a Protected Area in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding animal distribution is crucial for elucidating natural history, population dynamics, and inter‐ and intraspecific interactions. This knowledge informs the planning and evaluation of management and conservation strategies, particularly for sympatric, scarce, and threatened species such as jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma ...

Variogram method for Global Sensitivity Analysis

open access: yes, 2019
We extend the “variogram-based” theory of Global Sensitivity Analysis, called Variogram Analysis of Response Surfaces (VARS), and develop a new generalized star sampling technique (called gSTAR) to accommodate correlated multivariate distributions.

Modeling of zonal anisotropic variograms

open access: yesLietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2005
Most standard methods of geostatistical analysis are built upon the basic assumption of isotropy. However, spatial data in most cases are not isotropic. In practice typically we find data with zonal anisotropy.

Comparing the Effectiveness of the Choropleth Map With a Hexagon Tile Map for Communicating Patterns in Australian Spatial Statistics

open access: yesAustralian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, Volume 68, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The choropleth map is a common tool for communicating spatial distributions across geographic areas. However, the size of geographic units can distort interpretation, influencing how users perceive the distribution. A common alternative is the cartogram, which resizes areas based on population.

Optimal designs for variogram estimation

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, 1999
The variogram plays a central role in the analysis of geostatistical data. A valid variogram model is selected and the parameters of that model are estimated before kriging (spatial prediction) is performed. These inference procedures are generally based upon examination of the empirical variogram, which consists of average squared differences of data ...

Automatic Variogram Modeling

open access: yes
The variogram characterizes the spatial variability of a regionalized variable. Variogram calculation and modeling require a significant amount of professional time.
