The paper presents the application of European Macroseismic Scale - 1998 (EMS-98) in assessing building vulnerability and to construct damage scenarios for the building stock 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... -
Development of tsunami hazard maps for the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia,...
Heterogeneous distribution of slip during megathrust earthquakes has been shown to significantly affect the spatial distribution of tsunami height in both numerical studies and... -
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... -
Regional variations in neotectonic fault behaviour in Australia, as they...
Four of Australia's largest five population centres are topographically constrained by prominent escarpments (i.e. Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide). These escarpments are... -
Probabilistic Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis (PVAHA)II: Asia-Pacific...
Volcanic ash presents a natural hazard with a global reach, as ash can be transported up to thousands of kilometers from a given volcanic eruption to cross national boundaries... -
Tropical Cyclones: Hazard Modelling and Risk Assessment

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... -
