Earthquake Mitigation of WA Regional Towns York Case Study: Final Report
This document reports on a Bushfire and Natural Hazards Collaborative Research Centre (BNHCRC) utilisation project that has sought to develop information on the most effective... -
Developing fragilities for mainshock-damaged structures through incremental...
We present a methodology for developing fragilities for mainshock-damaged structures, "aftershock fragility", by performing incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) with a sequence of... -
Towards Improving ML Estimates for Local Earthquakes Made by Geoscience...
Here we undertake a statistical analysis of local magnitudes (ML) calculated using the two real-time earthquake monitoring software platforms use by Geoscience Australia (GA)... -
Trial Sixth Generation seismic-hazard model of Canada: seismic-hazard values...
The preliminary 6th Generation seismic hazard model of Canada (CanadaSHM6-trial) provides the basis for design values proposed for the 2020 edition of the National Building Code... -
Shear-wave velocity and site-amplification factors for 50 Australian sites...
One-dimensional shear-wave velocity (VS ) profiles are presented at 50 strong motion sites in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. The VS profiles are estimated with the... -
Geological Survey of Western Australia: SWAN takes off - a new seismic...
The Geological Survey of Western Australia, in collaboration with the Australian National University, Macquarie University, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services and... -
Ground shaking potential relating to eastern Australian active faults: an...
We present earthquake ground motions based upon a paleoseismically-validated characteristic earthquake scenario for the ~ 48 km-long Avonmore scarp, which overlies the Meadow... -
Automated Relocation of the Petermann Ranges Aftershock Sequence
The Mwp 6.1 Petermann Ranges earthquake that occurred on 20 May, 2016 in the Central Ranges, NT, is the largest onshore earthquake to be recorded in Australia since the 1988... -
National Seismic Hazard Assessment 2018 Web Map
As part of the 2018 National Seismic Hazard Assessment (NSHA), we compiled the geographic information system (GIS) dataset to enable end-users to view and interrogate the NSHA18... -
Seismic Hazard Assessment in Australia: Can Structured Expert Elicitation...
The 2018 National Seismic Hazard Assessment of Australia incorporated 19 alternative seismic-source models. The diversity of these models demonstrates the deep epistemic... -
Being Prepared for Earthquakes
You may not realise it but, on average, Australia is rattled every few days by an earthquake of magnitude 3 or above. We don’t feel every small tremor that happens, but the... -
Seismic hazard estimation in stable continental regions: does PSHA meet the...
Damaging earthquakes in Australia and other regions characterised by low seismicity are considered low probability but high consequence events. Uncertainties in modelling... -
Real-Time Community Internet Intensity Maps and ShakeMaps for Australian Earthquakes
Geoscience Australia provides 24/7 monitoring of seismic activity within Australia and the surrounding region through the National Earthquake Alerts Centre (NEAC). Recent... -
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis at regional and national scale: state...
Seismic hazard modelling is a multi-disciplinary science that aims to forecast earthquake occurrence and its resultant ground shaking. Such seismic hazard models consist of a... -
Aftershock Fragility Curves and Tagging Assessments for a Mainshock-Damaged Building
When multiple earthquakes occur within a short period of time, damage may accumulate in a building, affecting its ability to withstand future ground shaking. This study aims to... -
The Beetaloo Sub-basin Baseline Seismic Monitoring Project – Phase 1 Observations
Public concerns have been raised about the potential for induced seismicity as state and territory governments lift moratoriums on hydraulic stimulation activities for the...
