The aim of Earthquake Research Advances is to advance our understanding of earthquake physics, expand our ability to observe earthquake-related phenomenon and improve our mitigation of seismic hazards. To fulfill this,the journal publishes original research articles that focus on all aspects of earthquake studies. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

• Tectonic environments and structures of the Earth, especially, seismogenic fault zones
• Long-and short-term behavior of fault zones
• Laboratory, field and numerical experiments on the physical process of earthquakes
• Primary and secondary hazards associated with earthquakes
• Forecasting and reduction of seismic risks
• Seismic behavior, modelling and dynamic analysis of engineering structures and non-structural elements
• Seismic protective systems of structures and infrastructure
• Seismic structural health monitoring
• Seismic risk and resilience assessment
• Development of earthquake engineering practices, seismic codes and regulations, and earthquake-related public policies

These interdisciplinary subjects may involve fields such as geology, seismology, geodesy, rock physics and computer science. The overarching goal of this journal is to iestablish itself as a respected English-language publication in the field of earthquake science.
