Site characterization is indispensable to good geotechnical or rock engineering practice as every site is unique, but technical, budget, time, or access constraints typically result in only a tiny fraction of the underground soil and rock in a site being visually inspected, sampled, or tested. This leads to a long- lasting challenge of sparse measurements in geo- sciences and engineering. This book introduces Bayesian compressive sensing or sampling (BCS) as a highly efficient spatial data analytic and simulation method for the efficient modelling of spatial geo- data from sparse measurements, with quantified reliability and uncertainty to further optimize site characterization. It provides the necessary theory and computational tools for setting up and solving a sparse spatial data modeling problem using BCS.

This book suits graduate students, academics, researchers, and engineers interested in site characterization from sparse measurements in geotechnical and rock engineering, and also those modeling other spatially varying phenomena such as air quality data, soil or water pollution data, and meteorological data. This is supplemented with a software called Analytics of Sparse Spatial Data using Bayesian compressive sampling/ sensing and illustrative examples, and enables hands- on experience of spatial data analytics and simulation using sparse measurements.
