Warner Marzocchi - Biography#

Warner Marzocchi is professor of Geophysics and of Natural Hazard Forecasting at the University of Naples Federico II and at the Scuola Superiore Meridionale. His current research is focused on seismic and volcanic hazard analysis, earthquake and eruption forecasting, statistical seismology, and testing natural hazard models. He is member of the Academia Europaea, author of more than 180 publications on journals listed in the Web of Science (H-index 47 in WoS and 48 in SCOPUS), and has been listed in the world’s top 2% scientists in all fields (https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/6)

He has coordinated, at different levels, many national, European and international projects focused on earthquake and eruption forecasting and hazard analysis. Among other commitments, he has served as: co-chair of the Seismic Hazard Center at INGV; member of the task force of the University of Naples Federico II to support the management of the unrest phase at Campi Flegrei; member of the consultancy panel for the “Evaluation of Epistemic Uncertainty in Seismic Hazard Assessment for Nuclear Installations based on Expert Elicitation”, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); member of the Review Panel for the Earthquake Rupture Forecast of the 2023 United States National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM23); member of the Panel for the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) Revision Project Assurance and Lessons Review in New Zealand; member of the advisory board for NERC-ESRC UK programs and projects; member of the science advisory group (SAG) of the "International Continental Scientific Drilling Program", ICDP; member of the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) advisory council; member of the Global Volcano Model (GVM) scientific steering committee; member of the Scientific Review Panel for the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF3); member of the Commission for Seismic Risk mitigation ("Art.11 Legge 77/2009"), appointed by the Italian Government; member of the International Commission on Earthquake Forecasting (ICEF) appointed by the Italian Government; co-chairman of World Organization of Volcano Observatories (WOVO).

He has been invited to give lectures and talks at Risk Management Solutions’ symposium “Advances in earthquake forecasting”, at meetings of the American Geophysical Union, European Geosciences Union, Japan Geoscience Union, and at many Universities and International Research Institutes.
He graduated in Earth Sciences cum laude (1987) and received his PhD degree in Physics (1992) at the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna. He became associate professor in Physics of Volcanism (1998) at the Osservatorio Vesuviano, he has been chief scientist at INGV, visiting professor at the Institute of Statistical Mathematics in Tokyo, and visiting scientist at the University of Southern California. Since 1998 he taught Statistics and data analysis applied to geosciences, Geophysics, and Natural hazard forecasting at graduate and PhD students of the University of Bologna, Roma Tre, Geneva, and Naples Federico II.
