We review recent investigations on laser induced dynamics of surface adsorbates achieved by various
surface sensitive pump-probe spectroscopy combined with ultrahigh vacuum surface science techniques.
Both electronic and vibrational dynamics are discussed on the basis of measurements with time-resolved
photoemission and time-resolved nonlinear optical spectroscopy. Recent progress in understanding of
surface nuclear wavepacket dynamics and observation of photoinduced desorption precursor states are
also reviewed.
