Statsei5 Workshop

 

The area of Statistical Seismology is evolving rapidly, in part because of several recently funded large-scale projects on testing, forecasting and time dependent hazard (NERIES - Network of Research Infrastructures for European Seismology & SAFER - Seismic Early Warning for Europe in the EU, CSEP - Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability in California). It is also evolving as new models and ideas are developed in the community. Statisticians dealing with seismology are making more and more use of physical modelling, and seismologists dealing with physical processes are making more and more use of statistical tools. The Statsei workshops are opportunities for the community to reflect on the current state of the art and define future directions and needs. Statsei V will bring together statisticians interested in earthquakes and seismologists with backgrounds in seismicity analysis and modelling. The workshop will focus on:
- creating and testing earthquake forecast models;
- the need for community supported testing centres and software developments;
- time-dependent earthquake hazard assessment;
- the study of earthquake predictability and
- the need for a system-level science approach.
