17. Conclusion 1.Nankai Trough SEIZE is a quite successful on- going international collaboration through individual PIs, IODP frame, Margins program and others. 2.International collaboration is strongly expected from “active margin” countries because natural geo-hazard issues are so serious and urgent. 3.A new frame of international MARGINs is expected in each country.
