From 1987 to the present he served as chairman of the IASPEI sub-commission on earthquake prediction. Max Wyss has published over 150 research articles in reviewed journals on seismic source processes, tectonics and problems of earthquake prediction and hazard assessment. He held about 60 research grants mostly from NSF and the US Geological Survey, with some support from NASA and the Navy. Current research efforts of Max Wyss concentrate on tectonics and seismic hazard in Alaska and California, as well as earthquake prediction in general.
