海底地すべり国際会議のご案内
-----------------------------

日本堆積学会の皆さま

　2011年10月24-26日に京都で開催されます「海底地すべり国際会議」のセカンドサーキュラーができましたので，お知らせいたします．ご興味のある方の積極的なご参加／ご投稿をお願いいたします．

　この会議のプロシーディングスはSpringerから単行本として出版されることが決まっております．会議開催までに本を出版する関係上，プロシーディングスのアブストラクト（300単語以内）締め切りが早く，本年10/14（木）となっております．アブストラクトは編集委員会で審査され，問題なければ本論文の作成・投稿（来年4/1締め切り），査読・審査をへて，印刷となります．また，プロシーディングスへの執筆者が会議での口頭発表の権利を持ちます．会議ではポスター発表もありますが，こちらのアブストラクトの締め切りは来年9/1になります．

　参加費は事前登録で55000円ですが，上記のSpringerの本がつきます．特に，学生の事前登録料は25000円ですので，本を考えれば，かなり割安かと思います．

　「海底地すべり国際会議」は５回目にして，欧米を離れて初めての開催となります．現世だけでなく，地層の海底地すべりやそれに関連した堆積物の発表も歓迎します．ぜひ，堆積学会の皆さまの積極的な参加をお願いいたします．
　詳しくはホームページ（ ）をご覧下さい。

The 5th International Symposium on Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences will be held on 24th - 26th, October 2011, in Kyoto, Japan. Field excursions will be organized on 23rd and 27th - 28th October to visit recent active landslide and impressive fossil outcrops of submarine mass movements (see details below). This symposium is part of the International Geoscience Programme IGCP-585, also known as E-MARSHAL project ([click here]), a joint endeavor of UNESCO and the International Union of Geological Sciences. The main objective of this event is to bring a world-wide perspective of submarine mass movements and their consequences by assembling state-of-the-art contributions from international researchers of academic institutions and the offshore industry, and to stimulate the research in Asian countries. This symposium provides full coverage of the scientific and engineering aspects of this type of marine and coastal geo-hazards.

---------------Invitation Message from IGCP-585 Chairs-------------
Dear colleagues,
IGCP-511 to IGCP-585
The very successful IGCP project 511 (Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences) has ended and IGCP project 585 (E-MARSHAL: Earth’s continental MARgins: aSsessing the geoHazard from submarine Landslides) has begun. Project 585 will continue to support submarine landslide research and October, 24 to 26, 2011 will mark the occasion of the 5th “International Symposium on Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences”. The four previous successful events in Nice (France), Oslo (Norway), Santorini Is. (Greece) and Austin, TX (USA) were organized in the frame of project IGCP-511 and this year will represent the passage to the recently funded IGCP-585, supported by International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). During the five years of Project 511, the “submarine landslides” community grew both in terms of origin of affiliates and themes being challenged.
In 2011, the “International Symposium on Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences” moves to Kyoto (Japan) and without a doubt this will further enlarge the size of this forum and our community. The conference will include various themes in relation to submarine landslides, such as process understanding, gas hydrates, earthquakes, new tools and techniques, hazard and risk estimation and relation to climate change that will be led by keynote lectures from the most prominent scientists in our community. In addition we will have our panel debates in various “hot topics” of submarine landslide research. We expect this will contribute to significant knowledge transfer in the various themes proposed by the conference. We also hope that this will be an important opportunity for exciting new ventures in “Submarine Landslides Research”.
We hope to meet you all in Kyoto!
