The document summarizes exploration work done in the South Pacific region, including Fiji. It discusses the various modes of transportation used for exploration, including dugout canoes, hiking with machetes, and some unexpected hazards like hurricanes. The goals of the geological exploration were to map the geology, identify faults and date rocks, and create a useful stratigraphic column to tie to offshore seismic surveys. Field work included hundreds of miles of offshore seismic surveys, coring operations, and creating geological maps and a new stratigraphic column.
