This second special issue of Pure and Applied Geophysics (already published in
Volume 163, Numbers 2-3, March 2006) in honor of Keiiti Aki focuses on recent
advances in quantifying and interpreting heterogeneities in lithosperic structures and
earthquake behavior. The volume provides a combination of reviews, methodological
studies and applications on topics related to Aki's pioneering contributions. It also
includes material on Keiiti Aki and a list of his publications. The discussed subjects
include research associated with dynamic earthquake rupture, studies on imaging
earthquake locations and structures using P and S seismic phases, and studies
associated with imaging source and structure properties using scattered coda waves.
The volume will be useful to students and researchers alike, who are interested in the
nature of large- and small-scale heterogeneities in the earth's lithosphere and
earthquake properties.
This Volume is edited by Yehuda Ben-Zion and William H.K. Lee and will also be
published as a Pageoph Topical Volume in paperback (List Price: $79.95, Birkhauser,
publisher). It contains the following 16 chapters:
