Professor Noel Cressie is a researcher in statistical modelling and analysis of spatial and spatio-temporal data, in Bayesian and empirical-Bayesian methods, and in environmental sciences. The methodology has been applied in areas of ‘big science’ such as remote sensing of the earth on a global scale, regional climate modelling in space and time, and Bayesian statistical exposure modelling from sources to biomarkers. Other research areas include spatial command and control, disease mapping, medical imaging, and ice-stream dynamics.
