| Re: what's wrong with this sentence? One of the advantages of geostatistics is that it provides additional information which can improve rainfall estimations. This may have changed your intended meaning. I have understood your sentence to mean that: geostatistics provide information which can improve our ability to estimate rainfall - and my rephrasing of your original sentence reflects this interpretation. xtrm_jazzy likes this. |

| Re: what's wrong with this sentence? I agree, using information is not a advantage, providing information is. Shoudn't Geostatistics, which sounds like a specialized subject, be a special noun and be capitalized? not a teacher |

| Re: what's wrong with this sentence? 'In recent years' sounds much better. |
