Dear collegues,
we invite you to submit a manuscript to an upcoming Tectonophysics Special Issue on “Fluids in Faulted and Fractured Upper Crustal Rocks” http://www.journals.elsevier.com/tectonophysics/call-for-papers/call-for-papers-on-fluids-in-faulted-and-fractured-upper-cru/. Based on a thematic session that will be held at the next 2015 EGU meeting of Vienna, the Special Issue focuses on a topic of broad interest to the geoscience community in light of the importance of fault and facture-controlled fluid flow in the shallow subsurface.
Description: We welcome submission of full, regular or review papers to be collected within a coherent thematic volume of Tectonophysics dealing with the control exerted by faults and fractures on both migration and containment of fluids within upper crustal rocks, which is exemplified by the challenges posed by fractured carbonate reservoirs. We are seeking contributions about different aspects of the study of the co-evolution of fluids and brittle deformation, as well as of the fluid sources and fluid-rock interactions. We are also interested in innovative approaches that exploit new analysis techniques (for example, 3D numerical modelling, advanced imaging, or clumped isotope geochemistry) or methods combining traditional structural geology with geophysics, stratigraphy or hydrogeology. Through this thematic volume of Tectonophysics, we would like to address the progresses in the understanding of faulting and fracturing in upper crustal rocks as well as the role played by fault and fracture networks on subsurface fluid flow. The goal is to better comprehend the interplay between fluid flow and deformation from the micro- to the macro-scale in a variety of geologic settings.
First submission date: September 1st, 2015
Deadline for manuscript submission: October 31st, 2015
Completion of the review and revision process: May 31st, 2016
