Led by Dr. Leila Mizrahi, the statistical seismology group develops and applies advanced time-dependent earthquake forecasting models and statistically rigorous methods for analysing earthquake occurrence patterns. While earthquakes remain unpredictable, society relies on statistical approaches to estimate probabilities of future earthquakes. The group’s core mission is to create and test harmonised earthquake forecasting models for Switzerland and Europe, using Epidemic-Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) models. Their work also advances the understanding of earthquake processes by developing data analysis methods and open-source tools. The group actively challenges the scientific status quo by exploring machine-learning techniques and leveraging high-performance computing, contributing to advancements in earthquake predictability.
