This handbook focuses on the enormous literature applying statistical methodology and modelling to environmental and ecological processes. The 21st century statistics community has become increasingly interdisciplinary, bringing a large collection of modern tools to all areas of application in environmental processes. In addition, the environmental community has substantially increased its scope of data collection including observational data, satellite-derived data, and computer model output. The resultant impact in this latter community has been substantial; no longer are simple regression and analysis of variance methods adequate. The contribution of this handbook is to assemble a state-of-the-art view of this interface.
Features:
- An internationally regarded editorial team.
- A distinguished collection of contributors.
- A thoroughly contemporary treatment of a substantial interdisciplinary interface.
- Written to engage both statisticians as well as quantitative environmental researchers.
- 34 chapters covering methodology, ecological processes, environmental exposure, and statistical methods in climate science. <
"This is an extremely well-composed book, offering an interdisciplinary exposure to the concepts and methods that are very valuable to perform environmental and ecological data analysis. The contributors are recognized experts in the topics of their writing...Noteworthy features in this book are introducing uncertainty, anisotropy and non-stationarity, threshold exceedance, coenospace, stochasticity, tail-down models, entropy-based design among others...I highly recommend this book to environmental, climate, statistics and computing researchers and practicing professionals."

"Overall, this Handbook is a comprehensive collection of key “textbook” concepts from a wide range of statistical modeling frameworks, as well as evolving and newly emerging methodologies that at present only appear in the form of research articles outside of this book. Many of the concepts are accompanied by illustrative examples and references that are contemporary and accessible. I find this book to be a valuable resource for both research by and teaching to “a broad range of quantitative researchers” (as advertised in the Preface). I envision much of the contents of this book to become canonical in the environmental and ecological modeling literature in the near future."
