Slow-to-Fast Earthquake Workshop in Chile will be held in cooperation with SZNet.

In recent years, our understanding of earthquakes has significantly changed. Not only have conventional earthquakes been studied, but various slow earthquakes have also been discovered, necessitating a reconstruction of earthquake science based on the comprehensive understanding on slow-to-fast earthquakes. Moreover, the importance of interdisciplinary research crossing over into the fields of geophysics, geology, and physics, as well as the adoption of new research methodologies in engineering and computer science, has become increasingly critical.
To deeply understand these phenomena, it is also effective to explore the controlling factors given their diversity. Notably, the seismogenesis in different subduction zones exhibits both similarities and differences. In particular, there is much to learn from comparative studies of Japan and Chile, where seismic activity is always high and earthquake disasters are a common social problem. Therefore, we host a workshop to discuss the latest insights on earthquake phenomena including slow earthquakes, and to foster future collaborative research, mainly in these regions and also including global subduction zones.
