Learning Objectives:
Describe the relationship between the semi-variogram and kriging
Explain why it is important to have a good model of the semi-variogram in kriging
Explain the concept of the kriging variance, and describe some of its shortcomings
Explain how block-kriging and its variants can be used to combine data sets with different spatial resolution (support)
Compare and contrast block-kriging with areal interpolation using proportional area weighting and dasymetric mapping
Outline the basic kriging equations in their matrix formulation
Conduct a spatial interpolation process using kriging from data description to final error map
Explain why kriging is more suitable as an interpolation method in some applications than others
