If you are working on earthquake related research in the Pacific region, it's not too late to consider coming to the ACES workshop in Taipei, Taiwan this November.

The highway is open five times per day. No parking lots nor trails open in the gauge. Small-scale rock falls from the cliff. Good for car travel but not recommended for biking or travel by walk.

Never finished my 1839 Ava paper, but the Ava earthquake could be slightly larger than the 2025 event. They did share lots of similarities...

For some reason, the global network did not catch up the aftershocks on the southern part of rupture. The regional network from Thailand did report aftershocks from the south.
