National Seismic Risk Assessment for Residential Buildings in Australia using NSHA23
The overall earthquake bedrock hazard across Australia is low compared to the hazard of countries located at tectonic plate boundaries. This hazard is, however, variable and... -
Development and Verification of the Java Exposure Model for use in PSRA
The island of Java in Indonesia is the most populated island in the world, with over 150 million residents. Java is located in a complex tectonic setting and frequently... -
A revised seismic site conditions map for Australia
The Australian Seismic Site Conditions Map (ASSCM) uses information about surficial geology (regolith) as a proxy for the potential behaviour of geological materials under the... -
International Collaboration in Support of Indonesian Earthquake Hazard
The 2004 Sumatra earthquake was the most lethal natural disaster of modern times. Such a massive earthquake came as a surprise to earth scientists worldwide, who had grossly... -
Application of USGS ShakeCast for Rapid Post-Earthquake Assessment of...
The National Earthquake Alerts Centre (NEAC) at Geoscience Australia (GA) operationally provides alerts on earthquake events in the region which include Shakemap. This paper... -
Historic earthquakes story map
This story maps steps through Australia's history of significant earthquakes, plotted on an interactive story map. The map provides information on earthquakes, beginning with... -
Multi-site testing of stochastic earthquake tsunami models at Australian tide-gauges
Hazardous tsunamis are rare in Australia but could be generated by several mechanisms, including large plate-boundary earthquakes in locations that efficiently direct wave... -
How Passive Seismic Surveys Work
This animation shows how passive seismic surveys Work. It is part of a series of Field Activity Technique Engagement Animations. The target audience are the communities that are... -
Urban Seismic Risk in Java, Indonesia
Understanding and quantifying seismic risk in urban areas is critical to underpin policy designed to mitigate against future seismic losses and fatalities. This requires... -
Surface rupture and distributed deformation revealed by optical satellite...
This investigation uses high-resolution optical satellite imagery to quantify vertical surface offsets associated with the intraplate 20 May 2016 Mw 6.0 Petermann Ranges... -
Australian Seismic Site Conditions Map
The Australian Seismic Site Conditions Map (ASSCM) uses information about surficial geology (regolith) as a proxy for the potential behaviour of geological materials under the... -
Melbourne CBD Case Study: URM Retrofit Effectiveness in Avoiding Mass Casualties
Earthquakes occur without warning and human mobility during strong shaking is difficult. This has implications for casualty outcomes from such rapid onset events. Unreinforced... -
Development of new Australian magnitude conversion equations and its effects...
All modern ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) are now calibrated to the moment magnitude scale MW, it is therefore essential that earthquake rates are also expressed in... -
Tailored Earthquake Risk Mitigation Information for Decision Makers
In Australia there is a lack of retrospective building regulation to address earthquake prone buildings within communities. The commitment of funds to retrofit high risk... -
Seismic Monitoring at Geoscience Australia
Geoscience Australia (GA) builds, maintains and operates the Australian National Seismic Network and Urban Monitoring Network across the Australian continent, its territories... -
The 2018 Lake Muir earthquakes: Australia’s ninth surface rupturing...
A shallow MW 5.3 earthquake near Lake Muir in southwest Western Australia on the 16 September 2018 was followed on the 8 November by a co-located MW 5.2 event in the same... -
Interim Amendment to PNGS 1001-1982 Translating an Improved Assessment of...
Earthquake design standards seek to ensure that structures are adequately resilient to local hazard. The probabilistic hazard that forms the basis of the design loadings used... -
Earthquake Hazard Zones
Department for Housing and Urban Development
