More and more slow slip events are being detected by continuous monitoring of crustal deformation using GPS and borehole
strainmeter. Those events suggest that interplate coupling at plate subduction zone is variable with time. According to recent studies,
another new finding in subduction zone, deep low-frequency tremor, seems to be deeply related with slow slip events. These
phenomena are quite important in discussing recurrence of megathrust earthquakes at subduction zones and their physical processes.
Nagoya University is closely located to the region of the 2001 Tokai slow slip event. We discussed this Tokai event in March 2002.
Now, we are organizing the "International Symposium on Slow Slip Events at Plate Subduction Zone", which will be held at Nagoya
University on March 16-18, 2004. We will discuss slow slip events from various regions of the world, their physical mechanisms,
relation with structures, and so on. We are discussing about the slow slip events at the symposium for 2001 Tokai Slow Slip Event in
Nagoya University in March 2002. We hope you to participate in the symposium and to join our discussion. We also welcome your
presentation about relate topics in the poster session.

We are preparing so that a wireless LAN may be offered on the hall. If you bring a wireless LAN card, you can connect to the
internet at the hall.
We are also planning to have a short trip to Neodani-fault, and one night at hot spring in the fault on March 18.
