Abstract of the 226th meeting of CCEP
The 226th meeting of the Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction (CCEP) was held at the Kanto Regional Survey Department of the GSI on Feb. 21, 2020. Firstly, nationwide monitoring data of seismic activities and crustal deformaitons were reported. Secondary, CCEP members discussed the intensive discussion subject "Inland large earthquakes without apparent surface fault traces." Finally, the purport of next intensive discussion subject "Future vision for monitoring of crustal activity around Japan" was explained.
- Deliberation about crusutal activity monitoring.

p17 Convener: Hiroaki Takahashi（Hokkaido University)
-Characteristics of inland earthquakes without surface faults
p19 Hiroaki Takahashi (Hokkaido University)
-How many M~7 sources are hidden in the upper crust:
Earthquakes do not leave surface rupture,
earthquakes leave short-lived surface rupture,
and surface-rupturing faults without their own earthquakes
