Fluids in seismicity

Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

The presence of fluids in the subsurface can have a key influence on the processes and dynamics within active fault zones. Recent years have seen an increase in our understanding of the interaction between fluids and crustal deformation, including seismic and aseismic slip during natural earthquake sequences and induced seismicity generated by human activities.

In this collection we highlight articles that examine the role of fluids in triggering and influencing both seismic and aseismic slip. We encourage submissions that use a range of approaches to study this topic, from seismological observations and modelling, to remote sensing and analogue investigations.

This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and the participating journals more generally.

All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific participating journal through which they are submitted. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.

When submitting your manuscript to a participating journal via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note that authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
