The Georges Matheron Lecture Series[1] is sponsored by the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG) to honor the legacy of the French engineer Georges François Paul Marie Matheron, known as the founder of geostatistics and a co-founder (together with Jean Serra) of mathematical morphology.
[2][3] The Georges Matheron Lecture is given by a scientist with proven research ability in the field of spatial statistics or mathematical morphology.
The first recipient of the award was Jean Serra, for a long time a scientists with the Centre of Mathematical Morphology, Fontainebleau.
Serra delivered the first lecture at the IAMG conference in Liège, Belgium in 2006.
