Grateful to have accompanied Shao and Rupert to New Caledonia. They have authored a recent paper on earthquakes in Southern New Caledonia. Using a network of temporary seismic stations, they produced the first published earthquake catalog and local magnitude function for southern New Caledonia (SNC).
