Physics-driven stochastic models for earthquake forecasting – from swarms and aftershocks to natural and induced
extreme events by Giuseppe Petrillo, Eleftheria Papadimitriou, Ilaria Spassiani, Matteo Taroni & Davide Zaccagnino
The introduction of epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) models has been a milestone in statistical seismology.
Since then, several updated versions have been introduced to include more and more refined spatial and temporal
effects; however, while they succeed in forecasting the occurrence of small to moderate magnitude events, the
mainshocks are beyond their scope; moreover, mid- and long-term forecasts are poorly informative. Agreement is
growing in the scientific community that statistics and seismic-based information are not enough, and physics-based
techniques supported by an interdisciplinary approach to seismic hazard are required for achieving skilful forecasts.
This session is devoted to new research in the field of physics-based stochastic modeling of natural and induced
earthquakes also with the support of integrated, multidisciplinary methods, with special attention to major events.
