Call for presentation: Workshop on Slow Earthquakes 2016 in Tokyo, Japan, Sept 13-15

Dear all,

We are going to have an international workshop on slow earthquakes on 13-15 September 2016 at Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. The primary focus of this workshop is to gain better understanding of slow earthquakes through geophysical observations, field surveys, laboratory experiments, theoretical studies, numerical simulations, and so on. We also welcome contributions on the relation between slow earthquakes and ordinary earthquakes, especially mega-thrust earthquakes, seismic cycles, and related topics.

Support for travel expense for speakers: partial support available (not all of the requests would be accepted; please send a CV and a statement of interest to H. Hirose (hitoshi.hirose@ruby.kobe-u.ac.jp) if you want to apply)
