Abstract
This issue contains contributions that formed part of a meeting between Japanese and United States of America scientists working in the field of applying the concepts of fractals and chaos to problems in Earth Science. The meeting, organized by T. Hirata and C. Sammis was held at Lake Arrowhead, California during 24–27 September, 1989. The title of the meeting “Fracture, Form and Fractals” reflected its main theme, containing papers concerned with examining earthquake processes and statistics and papers concerned with laboratory or field evidence for fracture processes.
