Geoscience Australia is Australia’s pre-eminent public sector geoscience organisation and is the Australian Government's trusted advisor on the geology and geography of Australia. Geoscience Australia is partnering with the Department of the Environment and Energy’s Geological and Bioregional Assessment (GBA) Program to provide information that will assess the environmental impacts of shale and tight gas development to inform regulatory frameworks and appropriate management approaches. Through this program, Geoscience Australia are conducting passive seismic monitoring deployments in the Beetaloo Sub-basin region of Northern Territory. This monitoring project aims to gather new information about natural seismic (i.e., earthquake) activity and to monitor any change to the environment due to planned hydraulic fracturing activities in the region. This information will be used by Geoscience Australia, the public and other organisations to build knowledge of potential human-induced seismic activity that may affect communities or the environment.
