Abstract
An important goal for nuclear testing monitoring research is the development of an understanding of the processes that make up the explosion, and how these processes give rise to seismic and other signals that can be used to characterize the explosions and differentiate them from natural seismic events. The current compilation of eight papers on Source Processes and six papers on Explosion Yield Estimation in the context of nuclear test monitoring addresses a variety of issues related to the general topic of seismic source characterization, and provides a good sampling of current research activities in this area.
