Compositional data; Appendix: MATLAB functions to produce ternary diagrams; References; Index.Reviews'One of the main strengths of this book is the combination of mathematical rigor with extensive examples, allowing readers to work through case studies to better understand the concepts presented. The tool used for this purpose is MATLAB, which is widely used in the earth science community. Examples are drawn from geophysics, astrophysics, and anthropology (among others). Both the scripts and the data examples used in the book are available for download from the publisher's website. ... This book is an ideal guide for graduate students seeking a comprehensive and rigorous understanding of statistical methods in earth sciences. For the more mature earth scientist (and I include myself in that number), it provides a useful reference to widely used statistical concepts that many of us regularly encounter.'

Lucy MacGregor, The Leading Edge Author InformationAlan D. Chave is a Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Massachusetts. He has been a Chartered Statistician since 2003, and has taught a graduate-level course in statistics in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program for twenty years. For over forty years, he has conducted research utilizing the magnetotelluric method, primarily in the oceans, and using electromagnetic measurements to define the barotropic water velocity. Dr Chave has also designed instrumentation for optical and chemical measurements in the ocean, and has played a leading role in the development of long-term ocean observatories worldwide. He has been an associate editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research and editor-in-chief of Reviews of Geophysics, and is the co-author of The Magnetotelluric Method (Cambridge, 2012).
