Statistical seismology

Statistical seismology is the study of earthquake patterns and behaviors using statistical methods. It involves analyzing data on earthquake locations, sizes, and times to identify trends, probabilities, and potential future activity. This approach helps scientists understand how earthquakes are distributed and assess risks, aiding in preparedness and hazard mitigation. Instead of focusing on individual events, it looks at the bigger picture, leveraging patterns to make informed predictions and improve our understanding of seismic activity in different regions.
