This book presents a unified framework for assessing the value of potential data gathering schemes by integrating spatial modeling and decision analysis, with a focus on the Earth sciences. The authors discuss and compare the value of imperfect versus perfect information, and the value of total versus partial information, where only subsets of the data are acquired. This book is of interest to students, researchers, and industry professionals in the Earth and environmental sciences, who use applied statistics and decision analysis techniques, and particularly to those working in petroleum, mining, and environmental geoscience
