Abstract
A robust understanding of the physical processes that occur during earthquake rupture is of key importance for improving our ability to reliably predict earthquake ground motions from future damaging events. The past few decades have seen intensive research in this field and scientists became aware of the remarkable complexity of earthquake rupture, which has been shown to be highly variable at all scales and to span a wide dynamic range, from slow to super-shear earthquakes.

© 2014 Springer Basel. We thank the authors of the papers for their contributions. Most of the papers included in this volume were presented at the 2012 ECGS workshop Earthquake Source Physics on Various Scales, held in Luxembourg and co-funded by ECGS, the National Research Fund of Luxembourg (FNR), the Council of Europe Major Hazards Agreement (EUR-OPA) and the National Museum for Natural History (Mnhn) of Luxembourg. We thank all the participants who made that workshop such a big success. We also thank the reviewers of each paper for their critical and constructive comments that helped to improve the scientific quality of the volume, and Renata Dmowska, Editor-in-chief for Topical Issues in PAGEOPH, as well as the editorial staff at Springer for their dedication and continuous support.Additional details
