ABSTRACT:

"Can we predict earthquakes?" This question is foremost in the minds of the public when someone discusses about 
earthquake occurrence. I will briefly jexplain why statistical physics can provide powerfull tools to address the above question. 
In particular I will illustrate the main mechanical models of earthquake triggerring ranging from fully deterministic ones to 
 unpredictable ones. I will also introduce the point-process approach to seismic occurrence and its applications in the 
development of forecasting models
