Development of the Australian National Regolith Site Classification Map
A key recommendation of the Council of Australian Governments review into natural disaster management arrangements in Australia is that a five-year national program of... -
Defining an active fault in the Australian intraplate context, with some...
Defining a neotectonic fault in the intraplate context is relatively straightforward - the fault must have hosted displacement in the current crusta stress regime. Defining an... -

Style and timing of late Quaternary faulting on the Lake Edgar Fault,...
Geomorphic mapping of the ~30 km Lake Edgar fault scarp in SW Tasmania suggests that three large surface-rupturing events with vertical displacements of 2.4 - 3.1 m have... -
Investigation of hot gas emissions from Koranga volcano, Papua New Guinea, in 1967
Hot emissions of mainly sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide took place from a mound in Koranga open cut, near Wau, following a landslide at the end of May, 1967. Rocks of the... -
Community risk in Gladstone: a multi-hazard risk assessment
The report is the fourth in a series of multi-hazard case studies by the Geoscience Australia Cities Project. It is a summary report which considers tropical cyclone, including... -
Natural hazards and the risks they pose to Southeast Queensland
Community risk within the Southeast Queensland region is investigated for: tropical cyclones and storm tide, east coast lows, thunderstorms, tropical cyclones and severe wind,... -
A Regional Review of Coastal Hazards Along the South West Coast of Western Australia
The south-west coast of Western Australia is made up of a series of exposed limestone headlands which are prone to the development of cliff lines and large overhangs. Coastal... -

Self consistent fault scaling: extension to continental strike-slip faults
Whilst there is no data available to constrain the relations for SCR strike-slip faults there is a demand for these relations in the interpretation of scarps from palaeo-... -
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... -

Cyclone Larry Forum was held at James Cook University, Townsville Campus on 7 April 2006. Preliminary results from post-impact surveys conducted in the aftermath of Severe... -
The Cadell Fault, southeastern Australia: a record of temporally clustered...
The Cadell Fault, found in stable continental region (SCR) crust in southeastern Australia, provides a record of temporally clustered morphogenic earthquakes spanning much of... -
Stochastic ground-motion prediction equations for southeastern Australian...
Stochastic finite-fault ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) are developed for the stable continental region of southeastern Australia (SEA). The models are based on...
