Maarten, interesting indeed ! Did you think about multivariate techniques and pattern analysis etc ? Such approaches have been tried e.g. by
- Dragovic et al., Classification of soil samples etc., Appl Rad Iso 65 (2007) 218-224 - Makarenko et al., Topological classification etc., Physica A 289 (2001) 278-289 Issue 259, 1 (2004) of the J. Radioanalytical Nucl. Chem was in particular about source identification of pollution. E.g., - Frontasyeva et al.: Atmospheric deposition of heavy metals in N Serbia etc., pp. 141-147 : in this article the authors try to relate Cl and V pollution found in moss samples to the 1999 war. - Ermakova et al.: Air pollution studies in central Russia etc., pp. 51-58 Peter ----------------------------------------------------- Peter Bossew European Commission (EC) Joint Research Centre (JRC) Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) TP 441, Via Fermi 1 21020 Ispra (VA) ITALY Tel. +39 0332 78 9109 Fax. +39 0332 78 5466 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://rem.jrc.cec.eu.int "The views expressed are purely those of the writer and may not in any circumstances be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission." + + To post a message to the list, send it to ai-geostats@jrc.it + To unsubscribe, send email to majordomo@ jrc.it with no subject and "unsubscribe ai-geostats" in the message body.
