The group of Prof. Marc G. Genton works on the statistical analysis, modeling, prediction, and uncertainty quantification of spatio-temporal data, with applications in environmental and climate science, renewable energies, geophysics, and marine science.

Research activities include the following topics:

  • Spatio-temporal statistics
  • Spatial extremes
  • Geostatistics for large datasets
  • Non-Gaussian random fields
  • Multivariate spatial statistics
  • Nonstationary models
  • Wind and solar power forecasting
  • Multivariate data analysis
  • Data mining and machine learning
  • Visualization of functional and image data
  • Skew-elliptical distributions
  • Robustness
  • Data assimilation
