Probabilistic tsunami inundation assessment from a near-field earthquake source
Tsunamis are a destructive and dangerous hazard for coastal communities. To prepare for future events, Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) can be used to estimate the... -
Tsunami in Australia: challenging assumptions, building preparedness
University of Newcastle researchers captured media attention in 2017 with the release of a study modelling tsunami risk for the city of Sydney. The study considered a range of... -
Accommodating Spatially Varying Tidal Planes in Tsunami Hazard Assessments
Tsunami hazard assessment is commonly performed using a conservatively high sea level, typically the highest astronomical tide (HAT). However, HAT is not constant but varies... -

Offshore probabilistic tsunami hazard assessments (PTHAs) are increasingly available for earthquake generated tsunamis. They provide standardized representations of tsunami... -
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... -
Sensitivity of Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment to Far-Field...
Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) often proceeds by constructing a suite of hypothetical earthquake scenarios, and modelling their tsunamis and occurrence-rates.... -
NSW-wide probabilistic tsunami inundation hazards from subduction earthquakes
Tsunamis are a low-frequency yet potentially high-consequence hazard, with impacts growing rapidly with the flow depth and inundation extent. For this reason, tsunami risk... -
An Empirical Fatality Model for Indonesia Based on a Bayesian Approach
Many earthquakes in Indonesia have caused a large number of fatalities. Disaster risk-reduction of fatalities requires a representative fatality model derived from fatality data... -
