1944 Tonankai! Disturbed mud is a key
Analyzed by Yamaguchi et al.
Conclusion Nankai Trough SEIZE is a quite successful on-going international collaboration through individual PIs, IODP frame, Margins program and others. International collaboration is strongly expected from “active margin” countries because natural geo-hazard issues are so serious and urgent. A new frame of international MARGINs is expected in each country.
