Earthquake dynamics is one of the most pluridisciplinary endeavors in Earth Science, encompassing most disciplines in Geology, Geophysics, Rock Mechanics, and Fracture Mechanics. These studies range from field observations of faults and seismic ruptures through experimental rupture mechanics, fracture mechanics, and seismic radiation from earthquake faulting. Such a broad field attracts researchers from many horizons, using different scientific approaches and diverse technical experiences. The collection of papers selected by Eiichi Fukuyama and his colleagues is a very ample cross-section of these different approaches, ranging from field observations of faulting— both recent and old—to the most advanced techniques for simulating seismic ruptures in the laboratory and in computers, as well as the use of seismic data to constrain these models. These different approaches are required in order to understand and eventually use this information for the scientific prediction of ground motion and, perhaps one day, predicting earthquakes.
