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.	Ordinary Kriging (OK) is the standard geostatistical method for interpolating a continuous spatial variable at unsampled locations. It derives optimal, unbiased weights from the spatial covariance structure of the data, making it the Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (BLUP) under stationarity assumptions. Unlike simpler distance-based methods, it also provides a prediction uncertainty (kriging variance) at every interpolated point.
