When Prof. Hatheron was asked to delineate the history of
geostatistics, he objected that such discipline is still too
"young" to be treated from a historical point of view. The more and
more increasing practical applications requiring newer and newer
methodologies would rather suggest the necessity of empha sizing
the steps taken and the results obtained up to now. The reason of
certain epistemological choices as well as the difficul ties and
success in establishing a dialogue with the people most likely to
benefit from the results of geostatistics are necessary premises to
understand the present status of this discipline. The human bearing
of characters of the persons that have introduc ed and studied this
science blending theory with economic prac tics is a factor playing
a not inconsiderable role in the develop ment of geostatistics.
These concepts were the guidelines in organizing the ASI-Geo stat
75. Canada, France and Italy are three different situations in an
industrial and academic context, especially in the interac tion
between these fields. Yet it was our impression that the time had
come to assemble experts, scholars, and other people in terested in
geostatistics in order to evaluate its present posi tion on various
levels in the different countries and to discuss its future
prospects. Prof. Hatheron and Hr. Krige as well as other prominent
people were of the same opinion.
