The Christchurch earthquake killed more than 180 people, damaged or destroyed more than 100,000 buildings, and is New Zealand's most deadly disaster since the earthquake that struck the Napier and Hastings area on 3 February 1931.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="12273345" class="article-section-wrapper js-article-section js-content-section  "&gt;&lt;p&gt;This special focused issue of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Seismological Research Letters&lt;/i&gt;, which I had the fortune to edit, contains a selected set of 19 original technical papers. These papers cover different aspects of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake from seismological, geodetic, geological, and engineering perspectives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
