We consider the Riemann moduli space Mγ of conformal structures on a compact surface of genus γ>1 together with its Weil–Petersson metric gWP. Our main result is that gWP admits a complete polyhomogeneous expansion in powers of the lengths of the short geodesics up to the singular divisors of the Deligne–Mumford compactification of Mγ.
