contents We study the behavior of the superperiod map near the boundary of the moduli space of stable supercurves and prove that it is similar to the behavior of periods of classical curves. We consider two applications to the geometry of this moduli space in genus $2$, denoted as $\bar{\mathcal S}_2$. First, we characterize the canonical projection of $\bar{\mathcal S}_2$ in terms of its behavior near the boundary, proving in particular that $\bar{\mathcal S}_2$ is not projected. Secondly, we combine the information on superperiods with the explicit calculation of genus $2$ Mumford isomorphism, due to Witten, to study the expansion of the superstring measure for genus $2$ near the boundary. We also present the proof, due to Deligne, of regularity of the superstring measure on $\bar{\mathcal S}_g$ for any genus.
