Flood vulnerability research at Geoscience Australia
Australia has experienced devastating floods in recent years which have resulted in significant financial loss and disruption to communities. Even though flood events have... -
A short user guide for UBC-GIF gravity and magnetic inversions
Obtaining reliable predictions of the subsurface will provide a critical advantage for explorers seeking mineral deposits at depth and beneath cover. A common approach in... -
Rift Evolution in the Capel and Faust Basins, Offshore Eastern Australia,...
The Capel and Faust basins are located on the northern Lord Howe Rise between eastern Australia and New Caledonia in water depths of 1300-2500 m. Under the Australian... -
Legal Traceability of GPS Positions in Australia
The national measurement system in Australia ensures a basis for legally traceable, consistent and internationally recognised measurements. With the growing societal dependency... -
Tropical Cyclones: Hazard Modelling and Risk Assessment
A tropical cyclone (or hurricane in North America, typhoon in Asia) is an intense tropical low-pressure weather system where, in the southern hemisphere, winds circulate... -
The Role of Deep Seismic Reflection Data In Understanding the Architecture...
The Onshore Energy Security Program, funded by the Australian Government, Geoscience Australia has acquired deep seismic reflection data across several frontier sedimentary... -
Hydrodynamic modelling of coastal inundation
Modelling the effects on the built environment of natural hazards such as riverine flooding, storm surges and tsunami is critical for understanding their economic and social... -
Basin geometries and fracture zone development along Australia's southern...
Paleogeographic reconstructions of the conjugate Australian and Antarctic rifted continental margins based on geological versus plate tectonic considerations are rarely, if... -
Wollongong Landslides: Hazard Modelling and Risk Assessment
Landslide in Australia, for the most part, is not seen as a major threat to our urban communities. However, this general belief is far from the reality of the situation. Our... -
Temporal clustering of surface ruptures on stable continental region faults:...
A characteristic of Australian stable continental region (SCR) faults appears to be the temporal clustering of surface rupturing earthquakes. With the possible exception of... -
Co-seismic surface deformation relating to the March 23, 2012 Mw5.4...
On 23 March 2012, at 09:25 GMT, a MW 5.4 earthquake occurred in the eastern Musgrave Ranges region of north-central South Australia, near the community of Ernabella (Pukatja).... -
An overview of Geoscience Australia work as part of the North Australia NGA Project
In July 2000, Geoscience Australia (then the Australian Geological Survey Organisation) joined with the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) in the North Australia NGA... -
Reducing exploration risk and promoting exploration with results from the...
The Pine Creek airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey is the largest undertaken in the Northern Territory to date, covering an area of 74,000km squared (roughly the size of... -
The Papua New Guinea/Australia Volcanological Service Support Project (VSS) Rabaul
The Volcanological Service Support Project was established as a result of the destructive 1994 volcanic eruption ( AusAID Focus Vol. 15 no.3 [PDF 878KB ]) at Rabaul and was... -
Deep seismic reflection profiling in the Northern Territory: past work and...
Current geological mapping by the Northern Territory Geological Survey is leading to a much better understanding of the surface geology of the Territory. Less well understood is... -
Re-evaluating the seismic hazard potential of the northern Lapstone...
Based upon a structural model for the LSC involving a large west-dipping thrust fault beneath the Lapstone Monocline, a recent study of seismic hazard in the Sydney Basin... -
Surface and Sub-surface Geology and the Role of Basement Structure in the...
The Capel and Faust basins are part of the northern Lord Howe Rise, offshore eastern Australia. These frontier basins formed during the initial phases of extension leading to... -
Complete list of General Infrasound Abstracts - Infrasound Technology Workshop 2004
Large atmospheric acoustic sources such as: volcanic eruptions, bolides (terminating meteorite explosions), the ocean surface, chemical and nuclear detonations generate copious... -
Timing of regional tectonism and Au-mineralisation in the Tanami Block:...
Existing age constraints for geological events in the Tanami Block come predominantly from U-Pb geochronology of i) detrital zircons in sediments, and ii) magmatic zircons in... -
Seismic methods for hard rock mineral exploration
Mineral systems are often formed by the processes of fluid flux. Fluids may be sourced from igneous or epithermal events and can be focussed into permeable zones resulting from...
