Tsunami inundation hazards from global earthquake sources: Towards...
Australia's coastline is exposed to tsunamis generated by large subduction earthquakes in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. While recent events had limited impacts in Australia,... -
Tsunami Animation - Subduction Inundation Trough
As the Australian plate slowly pushes under the Eurasian plate, massive stresses build up in the crust. These stresses also cause the Eurasian plate to be slowly forced upwards... -
Tsunami - Teacher Notes and Student Activities
This 35 page booklet provides teachers and students with an understanding of what a tsunami is, what generates tsunamis, where they occur, what happens when they reach land, how... -
Tsunami Animation - Subduction Inundation Crest
Depending on whether the first part of a tsunami to reach the shore is a crest or a trough, it may appear as a rapidly rising or falling tide, and in some cases the tsunami may... -
Earthquake Scenario Selection for Tsunami Inundation Hazard Assessment:...
Tsunamis can be a dangerous and destructive natural hazard. Pacific nations are particularly exposed and tsunami risk is a serious concern. Tsunami and disaster risk reduction... -
Australian Earthquakes 2012
This poster shows earthquakes occurring in Australia in 2012 with a background of earthquakes occurring in Australia over the past 10 years. Also included are images produced as... -
Tsunami Animation - Landslide Generation
Landslides can happen on the seafloor, just like on land. Areas of the seafloor that are steep and loaded with sediment are more prone to undersea landslides, such as the edge... -
Tsunami impact, education and community consultation in the communities of...
The Natural Hazard Impacts Project (NHIP) at Geoscience Australia has developed modelling techniques that enable coastal inundation to be predicted during a tsunami. A... -
Australian seismological report, 1998
The report summarises earthquake and tsunami information worldwide in 1998 but with a focus on Australia for use by scientists, engineers and the public. Maps of the seismicity... -
Tsunami Animations Compilation Movie 2013
A compilation of short animations, describing the key processes involved in tsunami generation. -
Tsunami Animation - Volcanic Generation
Tsunamis can be produced from volcanoes in a number of ways. During a volcanic eruption, hot fast moving bodies of gas and rock (known as pyroclastic flows) can travel into the... -
Towards spatially distributed quantitative assessment of tsunami inundation models
In this paper a new benchmark for tsunami model validation is pro- posed. The benchmark is based upon the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which provides a uniquely large amount of... -

Tsunami Awareness brochure
Colour brochure about tsunami awareness and what to do in case of a tsunami threat. This pamphlet is produced jointly by Emergency Management Australia, Geoscience Australia and... -
Tsunami Animation - Shoaling
As the tsunami leaves the deep water of the open ocean and approaches the shallower waters near the coast, it slows down and may grow in height depending on the shape of the... -
A global probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment
Large tsunami occur infrequently but have the capacity to cause enormous numbers of casualties, damages to the built environment, critical infrastructure, and economic losses. A... -
A Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment of the Southwest Pacific Nations
The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004 and subsequent smaller events (off Nias in 2005, Java in 2006 and the Solomon Islands in 2007) have increased awareness among... -
