Environmental monitoring can generate enormous amounts of data, but what you really need is the information locked within it. Designed for non-statisticians, Aardvark (Analyse Any Routine Data; Visually Acquire Real Knowledge) is a Windows-based software tool that can help you to get the most from your environmental monitoring data.

Leading you through a logical sequence of operations, Aardvark will quickly and simply guide you to the most appropriate statistical methods. It uses a flexible and informative graphics system that allows you to see data trends readily and presents soundly-based conclusions in a non-statistical language.

Aardvark will help you to:
  • Spot important changes and trends in quality
  • Assess the adequacy of sampling programmes
  • Save money by improving programme efficiency
