Abstract
Statistical seismology has become a vital international research field, exploring earthquake probabilities, models of earthquake occurrence, ground motion, and hypothesis testing. It draws on mathematics, physics, and geology and informs public policy and risk management.About 80 participants attended the Sixth International Workshop on Statistical Seismology (StatSei 6) in California. The Southern California Earthquake Center hosted this meeting with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP). As in previous StatSei workshops, participants reported significant progress in understanding earthquake spatial, temporal, and size distributions and earthquake triggering, and in the forecasting power of physical and statistical models. Many of these models involve fractal behavior with power law distributions both of earthquake sizes and of distances and times between events.
