Dr. Jochen Wössner is senior researcher and heads the earthquake statistics group. In his research, he focuses on various aspects of statistical seismology, in particular on (1) seismicity analysis in space and time and their relation to earthquake physics, (2) probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and (3) earthquake prediction research, and (4) earthquake triggering by static stress changes. With seismicity being the expression of active geophysical processes, he uses geophysical modeling techniques to study a variety of phenomena related to earthquake occurrence.

He collaborates with researchers around the globe within the EU-FP7 project Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE) and with leading SCEC researchers in the Collaboratory Study for Earthquake Predictability (CSEP).
