Short Courses
Teaching intensive short courses to industry and academia is an important part of what I do; I have taught about 200. Please check my main home page or the CCG home page where I try to list upcoming public courses.
The Citation Program in Applied Geostatistics (CPAG) is an intensive training program that involves four weeks of instruction, exercises and a project. This program has been taught for more than fifteen years around the world. Over 300 people have been trained. Edmonton (1999-1; 2000-2; 2001-3; 2002-2; 2003-4; 2004-8; 2005-6; 2006-19; 2007-13; 2008-11; 2009-9, 2010-16, 2011-9, 2012-12, 2013-24, 2014-22, 2015-11, 2016-16; 2017-10), Chile (2002-10; 2003-12; 2004-8; 2005-10; 2006-10; 2007-19; 2008-13; 2009-7; 2010-17, 2011-11, 2012-20, 2013-16, 2014-11, 2015-11, 2016-9), Denver (2007-11; 2010-6, 2012-14, 2015-13, 2017-10), Brazil (2006-8; 2008-12) and South Africa (2011-16, 2013-12).
The Advanced Multivariate Geostatistics short course is becoming increasingly popular. Lectures all morning, some exercises in the early afternoon, then close the day with lectures. This is offered in-house.
My standard Fundamentals of Geostatistics four day short course covers the essential principles of geostatistics for a variety of applications. This is offered in-house and for the public. A number of other courses including advanced customized classes are also taught from time-to-time; mostly in-house. Two-day classes on focused subjects are also taught.
