On the Cover…
The most obvious problem in visualizing seismicity is that it occurs in three dimensions but must be displayed in two. The Google Earth viewer, however, is one freely available display system that is well-suited to visualizing seismicity. The cover depicts a Google Earth view looking northeast over the South Island of New Zealand toward the North Island and shows earthquakes of the Hikurangi subduction zone inverted to above the Earth’s surface. It accompanies this issue’s Electronic Seismologist column, “Upside-down Quakes: Displaying 3D Seismicity with Google Earth,” by Duncan Carr Agnew, which starts on page 499. Seismicity data were provided by the New Zealand GeoNet project and its sponsors EQC, GNS Science, and LINZ.

Table of Contents
Seismological Research Letters

The bimonthly Seismological Research Letters serves as a general forum for informal communication among seismologists, as well as between seismologists and those nonspecialists interested in seismology and related disciplines. The contents of SRL include contributed articles on topics of broad seismological interest, opinion pieces on current seismological topics, News and Notes about seismology in the U.S. and internationally, Transitions notes about seismologists, special earthquake reports, and letters to the editor.

"The Electronic Seismologist" is one of SRL's most popular columns. Many readers find its information on data exchange, the World Wide Web, and bulletin boards containing seismological information necessary reading. "EduQuakes" aims to provide a forum for the ongoing educational mission of the Seismological Society.

SRL prides itself on its ability to disseminate information quickly. For example, articles with preliminary reports about recent earthquakes of major public interest have appeared in as little as two months after the occurrences of the events. In summary, SRL is an excellent tool for keeping current on developments in earthquake seismology.
