Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the EGU 2023 (23-28 April 2023, Vienna, Austria & Online) special session:

SM6.1 (Co-organized by ERE5/GMPV5)
Advances in monitoring and studying the presence and migration of fluids within the crust using multi-disciplinary approaches

https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/47079

organized by Grazia De Landro, Tony Alfredo Stabile, Jean Vandemeulebrouck, Nicola D'Agostino and Michele Paternoster.

The session focuses on latest research, field studies, modelling aspects, theoretical, experimental and observational advances on detection and tracking of fluid movements and/or pore fluid-pressure diffusion in different environments worldwide, and on the analysis of their correlation with the induced/triggered seismicity.

The complete session description is attached below.

The abstract submission deadline is 10 January 2023, 13:00 CET.
Please also feel free to forward this email to any potentially interested colleague of yours.

We look forward to seeing you in Vienna! 

Kind regards,
Grazia De Landro, Tony Alfredo Stabile, Jean Vandemeulebrouck, Nicola D'Agostino and Michele Paternoster

Abstract

Fluids permeate and diffuse within the crust being originated by internal or external natural sources or by industrial activities for modern energy exploitation and production. Fluids are involved in several geological processes occurring within the seismogenic crust. Fluid-induced stress changes (seasonal forcing due to surface water redistribution, overpressure within the natural reservoirs and/or along the fault planes, industrial wastewater injection, etc.) can reactivate faults and generate deformation and earthquakes. In volcanic environments, fluids play a key role in governing the evolution of magmatic processes and eruption. In this view, it becomes crucial to reliably image fluid storages and track their movement through the crust. New and innovative methodologies and technologies permit 1) to reconstruct the 4D (space and time) variations of rock physical and geochemical properties in a fluid-filled porous medium, 2) detecting and tracking fluids migration, and 3) studying fluid-related effects (such as induced microseismicity, electric properties changes and surface ground deformation). Hence the scientific communities have a new generation of powerful tools for seismic, volcanic and industrial hazard assessment.
This session focuses on main results obtained within the project FLUIDS funded by the Italian Ministry for Research, which was aimed at developing and applying an integrated multi-parametric and multi-disciplinary approach to image and track crustal fluids at selected test-sites in volcanic, tectonic and industrial exploitation environments. The session focuses also on latest research, field studies, modelling aspects, theoretical, experimental and observational advances on detection and tracking of fluid movements and/or pore fluid-pressure diffusion in different environments worldwide, and on the analysis of their correlation with the induced/triggered seismicity.
We welcome contributions on advances in seismic, geochemical and deformation monitoring; multidisciplinary studies combining different data types and observations; characterization and space-time variations of electrical and seismic elastic/anelastic crustal properties, including stress and pressure changes; and physical and/or statistical analyses for the recognition of peculiar seismicity patterns. The session also encourages contributions from early career scientists.
