Abstract
We present recent work on punctuated dynamics of fronts. This kind of dynamics drives the evolving front to a critical state with temporal m ultiscaling of the interface profile due to intermittent activity char acterized by avalanches which connect regions of recent local activity . This activity pattern exhibits non-trivial power-law correlations in space and time. We present numerical results in both 1+1 and 2+1 dime nsions and generalize a theory for the critical exponents to all dimen sions.
