摘要
In 2018,the International Conference for the Decade Memory of the Wenchuan Earthquake in connection to the 4th International Conference on Continental Earthquakes(4th ICCE)and the 12th Assembly of Asian Seismological Commission(ASC)officially announced the establishment of China Seismic Experimental Site(CSES)in the Sichuan-Yunnan region.CSES focuses on the field experiments on a broad spectra of scientific problems in earthquake science,from the tectonics and physics of earthquakes and faulting to the engineering countermeasures for disaster risk reduction.In spring of 2021,approved by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China,CSES as a key state scientific infrastructure was enlisted in the 14th national five-year plan(2021–2025)of economic and social development and the long-term vision of 2035,which is considered as a major step for promoting earthquake science in China.Since 2018,the planning,construction and functioning of CSES have attracted much attention in earthquake science(CSES,2020a,b,c;Wu ZL et al.,2021a,b,c,d).This special issue of Earthquake Science,similar to other publications(e.g.,Li YG et al.,2021),reflects a profile of the on-going works of CSES,by CSES,and for CSES.Totally 8 articles are included in the present issue,covering some aspects of research scopes of CSES.
