Dear Contributors, Readers and Friends：This issue includes six papers on post-Wenchuan earthquake studies, representing just a small sample of the vast number of lessons learned from that devastating event in Sichuan, China. Since 2008, the world has experienced several destructive earthquakes such as those occurred in New Zealand, Haiti, Chile, and Japan. Reconnaissance reports on these events have indicated observations on ground motion characteristics that deserve special consideration by researchers.
