Initiated in the late 1980’s to promote geostatistics and its application to natural resource evaluation and risk assessment, this group of companies, which was maintaining close links with Stanford University’s School of Earth Sciences, was initially present in North-America, Europe and Australia. FSS International r&d changed its name to KIDOVA in January 2009, after FSS International Europe, which survived the rest of the group, was dissolved.
