Σύνοψη	Bayesian Co-Kriging is a multivariate geostatistical method that uses auxiliary spatially correlated variables to improve predictions of a primary variable of interest. By placing Bayesian priors on cross-covariance parameters, it propagates all uncertainty — including parameter uncertainty — into the prediction intervals, yielding fully probabilistic maps with calibrated uncertainty bounds.	Bayesian Kriging embeds classical geostatistical interpolation inside a full probabilistic framework. Instead of treating variogram parameters as fixed point estimates, it places prior distributions on them and updates these priors with observed spatial data to obtain a posterior distribution. Predictions at unsampled locations are then marginalised over this uncertainty, yielding honest predictive intervals that account for both spatial dependence and parameter uncertainty.
