Methods of nonlinear geophysics, inverse problems, mathematical statistics, extreme theory and data analysis have improved knowledge of the structure of the Earth’s lithosphere, earthquake generation, predictability, and seismic hazards. This Special Issue of Surveys in Geophysics “Lithosphere Dynamics and Earthquake Hazard Forecasting” is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Professor Vladimir (Volodya) Keilis-Borok (1921–2013), a distinguished mathematical geophysicist. For more than 60 years, the topics of seismology, nonlinear dynamics of the lithosphere, and earthquake prediction were central in Keilis-Borok's research.en© The Author(s) 2022. Open Access.
