First paper arising from the Southern Alps Long Skinny Array (SALSA): “Seismological Analysis of Contemporary and Future Alpine Fault Earthquakes Using the Southern Alps Long Skinny Array (SALSA)”

“What the paper doesn’t entirely capture is the blood, sweat, and tears involved in deploying and maintaining such a big array in mountainous terrain: 47 mostly broadband seismometers spaced ~10 km apart over a 450 km length of the Alpine Fault between Maruia and Milford Sound/Piopiotahi. A huge team effort that has delivered and amazing open-access dataset now available through the EarthScope Consortium.” quoting prof. John Townend
