Source and Ground Motion Models for Australian Earthquakes

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

This article summarizes a report prepared for Geoscience Australia by Paul Somerville, Robert Graves, Nancy Collins, Seok Goo Song and Sidao Ni of URS Corporation. The report was completed on June 30, 2009. It is anticipated that the ground motion models developed in this project may be used in the generation of future probabilistic ground motion maps for Australia.
