It has long been an ambition at GEUS to provide a focus point for the development of a geological data analysis environment centred particularly around multivariate data analysis, geostatistics and representative sampling. It has become increasingly evident over the past two decades that there is an urgent need to promote "Geoscience Data Analysis" as a discrete professional discipline at GEUS - seen in the light of the exponential increase in the volumes of analytical data and also in the increasing focus on quantitative modelling within geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology, chemistry and microbiology. The aim of the professorship is to strengthen the scientific research platform such that research into GDA and particularly sampling strategy is integrated across the spectrum of scientific departments at GEUS
