Workshop announcement: “The prospects for studies of slow earthquakes toward Nankai Megaquake predictions and disaster preventions”, Kyoto, September 8th-10th 

Dear Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce that we will hold a workshop of “slow earthquakes” on September 8th-10th at the Uji campus, Kyoto University. In this workshop, we focus on understanding of slow earthquake itself, and relationships between slow earthquakes and megathrust event, such as a future Nankai-Tonankai earthquake. We also focus on seismic and geodetic monitoring of slow earthquake at sea-bottom as well as landward. We encourage submitting from perspectives of geology and rock physics, as well as seismology, geodesy and tectonics.
The workshop will be held at the Uji campus, Kyoto University from September 8th-10th. The application for the workshop is from the website at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QsqxIhtFx2xcKAK7_pdzmceR83-ZOAUax5XD9NQOC4U/viewform
