The scientific community is saddened to learn of the death of Professor Georges Matheron on 7 August 2000. As a major figure in applied mathematics over four decades, he leaves an outstanding scientific heritage, covering a wide range of domains where probabilistic tools and models are implemented. He also trained more than one generation of researchers, engineers and teachers. In the fields of theoretical and applied random media and image analysis his work has inspired many researchers worldwide: mathematicians, statisticians, physicists, experimentalists, earth scientists, mining engineers and also users of image analysis and synthesis in all its applications (materials, biology, artificial vision, CAD, remote sensing, geophysics, biometry, image coding etc.).
