Ongoing seismogenic processes in the brittle Earth’s crust are substantially driven by different aspects of stress. Thus, characterizing the role of stress during nucleation and rupturing of earthquakes is a crucial factor for understanding the physics of earthquakes. In this thesis I investigate the role of stress fluctuations in seismogenic processes. In particular, I draw inferences from the concept of scale invariance and the analysis of seismicity, induced by the injection of pressurized fluids through boreholes. This hydraulic reservoir stimulation is among others performed in order to develop enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) for sustainable power generation. The investigation of fluid-induced earthquakes is of particular importance ...
