Spatio-temporal stochastic modelling of environmental hazards

This is the editorial letter for the Special Issue dedicated to the joint VII International Workshop on Spatio-temporal Modelling (METMAVII) and the 2014 meeting of the research group for Statistical Applications to Environmental Problems (GRASPA14), which took place in Turin (Italy) from 10 to 12 September 2014. This SI summarises a selection of the main contributions presented at this workshop, related to spatial and spatio-temporal methodology, mainly based on point processes, and illustrated with environmental applications on earthquakes, tornadoes, and radioactive particles.
