Special issue on earthquake scientific investigations

Introduction:

Over the past half-century, numerous earthquake scientific investigations have been carried out by multiple scientific agencies, particularly by the China Earthquake Administration. Following earthquakes, a wealth of first-hand observational data, typical in-site samples, and valuable phenomena are acquired and subjected to these investigations. Based on reviews of the observational schemes and summarised reports of investigations organised by the China Earthquake Administration, a treatise entitled A Guidebook to Earthquake Scientific Investigation has recently been published. 

For this special issue, we welcome research articles regarding all aspects of earthquake investigations, and studies of previous earthquakes.

Topics covered:

These include, but are not limited to:

• Objectives, principles, contents and other components of earthquake investigation
• Case studiesof past earthquakes, addressing seismotectonic, seismic hazard, crustal deformation, geochemistry, gravimetry, deep sounding and strong ground motion etc.

Important deadlines:

• Submission deadline: 31 January 2023
• First review round: 30 March 2023

Submission Instructions: 

Please read the Guide for Authors before submitting. All articles should be submitted online; please select Special issue on earthquake scientific investigation on submission.
