In 2015 Wyss joined the International Center for Earth Simulation in Geneva as scientific expert. He is Professor Emeritus of the University of Alaska.Max Wyss’ 235 scientific publications deal with: Seismic hazard and risk, earthquake losses, population exposed, composition of the built environment, earthquake source parameters, crustal deformation, stress/strain tensors, seismicity patterns, earthquake prediction, seismotectonics, historic seismicity, seismicity related to volcanoes and number of fatalities in earthquakes. Discoveries of Wyss together with colleagues included: earthquakes are multiple events, fault creep, the dependence of mean magnitude on stress, apparent stress, relation of magnitude to rupture area, mapping magma chambers and asperities by b-values, errors in some earthquake prediction schemes, method of estimating earthquake fatalities in real time, the earthquake closet, errors in seismic hazard estimates, ratio of rural to urban quake losses, potency of earthquakes by country, and the earthquake load by country. Wyss founded the GPS consortium of American Universities, UNAVCO and he led the team that assemble the tool to estimate earthquake losses from 2005 to 2014. The data set for population and the built environment in QLARM includes nearly 2 million settlements including all countries of the world. Since 2003 Wyss has distributed 1,315 near-real-time alerts for earthquakes worldwide, estimating the number of fatalities within less than an hour.
