Nitrate Levels in a River Catchment
The statistical model used for nitrate levels over a river monitoring network takes account of the flow connectedness of the monitoring sitesEnvironmental Statistics
The environmental statistics theme by definition is the development and application of statistical methodology to environmental issues- these can be based in the natural environment (both undisturbed and perturbed) or the urban environment. Environmental statistics is a broad discipline stretching from how and what to sample, through to modelling impacts on human and ecosystem health and ultimately to providing predictions of what changes might occur in the future. Statistical methodology being used include time series analysis, spatial modelling, Bayesian methods, wavelet analysis, extreme value modelling and non-parametric (particularly regression and additive) modelling.
The school also heads the EPSRC funded SECURE nework which brings together the environmental and statistical communities to provide fresh intelligence and new insights into environmental change and society's management of that change.
