Dear Colleagues:
We are going to have an international workshop on slow earthquakes on 24-26 September 2015 at the Higashiyama campus, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan.
In this workshop, we focus not only on the understanding of “slow earthquakes”, but also on the relationship between slow earthquakes and megathrust earthquakes. We welcome any topic related to slow earthquakes such as, observations, geological field surveys, laboratory experiments, numerical modeling, theoretical studies, and so on.
