DESCRIPTION:

The 6th International Workshop on Statistical Seismology (StatSei 6) will be hosted by the Southern California Earthquake Center at the Granlibakken Conference Center in California on April 12-16, 2009. The scientific program will focus on current topics in statistical seismology and California-specific research areas, including:

* Earthquake physics and statistics
* Statistical properties of earthquake occurrence through examination of the two fundamental laws of observational seismicity (Gutenberg-Richter and Omor-Utsu)
* Time-dependent earthquake forecasting and hazard
* Basic concepts in statistical seismology, e.g., recurrence, characteristic earthquakes, declustering, etc.
* Prospective and retrospective testing of earthquake forecasts
* Global collaboration in earthquake predictability research
* Testing weather and climate forecasts

Statsei 6 will cover three full days of lectures, discussions, and poster presentations (April 13-15th), and followed by a field trip on April 16th. The workshop lectures are by invitation only but all participants are encouraged to present posters.
