The book is concerned with the statistical theory for locating spatial sensors. It bridges the gap between spatial statistics and optimum design theory. After introductions to those two fields the topics of exploratory designs and designs for spatial trend and variogram estimation are treated. Special attention is devoted to describing new methodologies to cope with the problem of correlated observations.
Reviews

From the reviews of the third edition:

"Collecting Spatial Data signifies ... the state of the art of the design of spatial networks. ... the monograph is well focused on the important problem of spatial sampling. ... The book will continue to be a stalwart reference for practitioners in the field of spatial estimation and a thorough introduction for graduate students in the field. This third edition nicely fulfills the aim ... of providing an overview of classical and recent methods for the efficient collection of spatial data." (Michael Manton, Eos, Vol. 89 (15), 2008)
