摘要
There are 13 papers in this special issue on stress field, crustal deformation and seismicity. The great Wenchuan earthquake is a grievous disaster, but Chinese scientists are trying to learn more from the event in order to understand better the physics of earthquakes for future hazard mitigation planning. Rapid development of GPS technology provide the possibility in the first time in history to monitor the crustal deformation in a wide range and high accuracy, however, it is an important lesson learned from the Wenchuan earthquake,
