Evison Symposium on Seismogenesis & Earthquake Forecasting

Scope of Symposium

Seismogenesis

• Physical processes and conditions affecting earthquake occurrence
• Conceptual, physical and statistical modelling of the earthquake preparation process
• Systematic empirical studies of proposed earthquake precursors
• Precursory seismicity patterns and their physical meaning
• Statistical evidence concerning the existence of earthquake precursors on any time scale

 

Earthquake forecasting

• Models of time-varying earthquake occurrence
• Regional earthquake likelihood models
• Earthquake prediction algorithms
• Testing and assessing earthquake forecasts of different types
• Comparative performance and information value of earthquake forecasting models
• Communication of earthquake forecasts, and implications for countermeasures planning
