Best Paper Award 2006
Published online: 15 December 2007 © International Association for Mathematical Geology 2007
Introduction 2006 was a wonderful year for our best paper award! Two outstanding papers amongst many excellent ones made it impossible to choose one without being unfair to the other. Thus, the winners of the 2006 Best Paper Award (in alphabetical order) are: “Modeling Spatial Variability along Drainage Networks with Geostatistics” by JeanStéphane Bailly, Pascal Monestiez and Philippe Lagacherie, 38(5):515–539, and “On the Use of Non-Euclidean Distance Measures in Geostatistics” by Frank C. Curriero, 38 (8):907–926.
The Authors of the Award Winning Papers The following biographies of the four authors responsible for the two best papers of 2006 are presented next in alphabetical order. Jean Stéphane Bailly is a research scientist and a lecturer at the ENGREF, the French Institute of Forestry, Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, a member of the PARISTECH, the Paris institute of technology. He is conducting his research at the TETIS (French acronym for Territories, Environment, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information) and the LISAH (French acronym for Laboratory of Soil, Agrosystems and Hydrosystems Interaction Studies) joint research units, both located in Montpellier, France. Dr. Bailly is also giving lectures on geostatistics, hydraulics, and remote sensing.

He started his career in East Africa as an agronomist specialised in water sciences and remote sensing. Later, he completed a master’s degree in biostatistics at the University of Montpellier 2, where he received his Ph.D. in hydrology in 2007. Dr. Bailly works on digital mapping methods for hydrology and hydro-ecology, with a focus on hydrographic networks. The main methodological issues he is working on are remote sensing for hydrography, drainage algorithms from digital terrain modelling, stochastic spatial modelling, spatial data classification, and spatial uncertainties propagation in hydrological models. For the past few years, Dr. Bailly has been conducting research on the spatial variations and evolutions of the artificial components of the cultivated landscapes, as artificial hydrographic networks, and their hydrological impacts. Frank C. Curriero is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences and the Department of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. His research focus is spatial statistics and geographic information system (GIS) applications in public health. During the past ten years Dr. Curriero has developed and applied statistical and GIS methods to spatially characterise interactions between the environment and public health. His published research has included studies involving spatial variability in cancer burden and incidence, geostatistical based exposure assessment models, disease surveillance, and method development for spatial statistical techniques. Dr. Curriero has worked to keep the GIS component and the spatial me
