Committee members serve three years terms, on average. Nominate yourself
or your colleagues (with their permission) by sending a two-page curriculum

Appointments are made by the Chairman, on the advice of the steering
committee. The Nankai subduction zone produced destructive great earthquakes in
the 1940's and remains a significant societal hazard. It is one of the
focus areas of the Seismogenic Zone Experiment (SEIZE) (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/margins/SeismZone.html)
and the locale of intensive recent geophysical and geological investigations.
In order to inform the community about on-going projects, to highlight
outstanding problems, and to encourage new collaborations we are sponsoring
a discussion of current and planned research in the Nankai subduction
zone. We will briefly review current 3D seismic reflection, Ocean Bottom
Seismometer, and GPS programs plus recently completed and planned ODP
drilling. We will follow with short presentations from the floor on
current or planned research in the Nankai subduction zone and end with
a freeform general discussion. We invite all interested geoscientists to come, listen, and contribute.
We are especially interested in attracting new collaborators with scientific
approaches and agendas not currently being pursued. Casey Moore, UC Santa Cruz (cmoore@es.ucsc.edu) Sponsored by InterMARGINS and MARGINS This page was last updated October
