Andrea Llenos

I am a research geophysicist whose research focuses on developing earthquake rate models for seismic hazard forecasts. I use statistical methods to characterize earthquake rate changes in catalogs, investigating the impacts these variations have on short-term earthquake forecasts as well as long-term seismic hazard models.
