This volume contains forty-one selected full-text contributions  from the Fourth European Conference on Geostatistics for Environmental  Applications, geoENV IV, held in Barcelona, Spain, November 2002. The  objective of the editors was to compile a set of papers from which the  reader could perceive how geostatistics is applied within the  environmental sciences. A few selected theoretical contributions are  also included. The papers are organized in the following sections:   Air pollution and satellite images,    Ecology and environment,   Hydrogeology,   Climatology  and rainfall,   Oceanography,   Soil science,    Methodology.     Applications of geostatistics vary from particle matter analysis, land  cover classification, space-time ozone mapping, downscaling of  precipitation, contaminant transport in the subsurface, aquifer  reclamation, analysis of Iberian hare or phytoplankton abundance,  coastal current patterns, to soil pollution by heavy metals or  dioxins. At the back of the book nineteen posters presented at the  congress are included.   The combination of full texts and posters provides a picture of the  tendencies that can presently be found in Europe regarding the  applications of geostatistics for environmentally related problems.    Audience: After four editions the geoENV Congress Series has  established itself as a 'must' to all scientists working in the field  of geostatistics for environmental applications. Each geoENV congress  covers the developments which have occurred during the preceding two  years, but always with a highly applied focus. It is precisely this  focus on the applications to environmental sciences which makes the  geoENV volumes unique and of great interest and practical value to  geostatisticians working both in academia and in industry.
