The recent concept of self-organized criticality implies two significant propositions in relation to seismology. First, the existence of metastable state in large areas of the Earth's crust which is comparable in their size with plates and microplates. Second, high sensitivity of seismic process to minor variations of external and internal features, which might result in a qualitative sudden change in the form of a large earthquake. In this context, the research on interrelations between seismicity and other Earth's fields variations are of great interest.
Two major forms are proposed of the relations between geophysical field variation and seismicity. One of them is a change of the strains in the crust, energy saturation or rocks durability. The other is trigger effect. It appears to be interesting to study the temporal and spatial correlation between various fields and seismicity, including the strong earthquake source location. It is no less important to study the variation features of various fields in time, chaos or deterministic chaos manifestations, flicker noise, fractality, kinetic process and role of water in earthquake source. One of the important aims of the session is to bridge the gap between laboratory and the field scale in failure preparation processes. Theoretical, laboratory and field research devoted to revealing regularities and reasons of seismicity interrelations with other fields is welcome. We invite contributions on any aspect of earthquake generation, including but not limited to those noted above.
