Σύνοψη	Bayesian Universal Kriging (BUK) extends classical universal kriging by placing prior distributions on trend coefficients and spatial covariance parameters, then propagating full posterior uncertainty into predictions. It interpolates spatially referenced continuous data while simultaneously estimating large-scale deterministic trends driven by covariates and small-scale stochastic spatial dependence, yielding prediction intervals that honestly account for both parameter and interpolation uncertainty.	Spatial autocorrelation quantifies the degree to which a variable's values at nearby locations resemble each other more (positive autocorrelation) or less (negative autocorrelation) than expected by chance. Global indices such as Moran's I summarise the pattern across the entire study area, while local variants reveal clusters and outliers at the level of individual observations.
