Abstract
The method of surface-wave dispersion has been used to find the thickness of the Earth's crust beneath the submerged region to the south-east of New Zealand known as the Campbell Plateau. By the use of records from eight earthquakes, an average value of about 20 km was found. This is intermediate between the values usually found for oceanic and continental regions.Keywords
