Abstract
Statistical methods in Earth Sciences using useful models of time series, point processes and space-time processes are developping in conjunction with a variety of concrete applications. In the present paper, such models and methods successfully applied in seismology and related science of solid earth are reviewed. Particular emphasis is place don point process models in application to the analysis of seismic activity. Also, some developping models for analyzing various aspect of seismic wave data are intensively reviewed in section 9. Further, a number of remakable contributions of Japanese statisticians to some areas in earth sciences are also introduced in section 10.
