Strengthening natural hazard risk assessment capacity in the Philippines: ...
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) and Geoscience Australia (GA) have developed a long-term partnership in order to better understand and reduce... -
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis model for the Philippines
The Philippine archipalego is tectonically complex and seismically hazardous, yet few seismic hazard assessments have provided national coverage. This paper presents an updated... -
Probabilistic earthquake hazard assessment for Fiji
Probabilistic earthquake hazard maps were prepared for the Fiji Islands. Damage has been caused by Fiji earthquakes around 1850, in 1884, 1902, 1919, 1932 (twice), 1953 and... -
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... -
Fragility of Indonesian houses: scenario damage analysis of the 2006...
Indonesia is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world and often experiences damaging earthquakes. In the past the housing sector has sustained more... -
A low-cost seismic network for Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is situated at the edge of the Pacific “ring of fire” and is exposed to frequent large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes in PNG, such as... -
Towards real-time earthquake impact alerting in Indonesia
The Government of Indonesia has committed to deploying a network of 500 strong-motion sensors throughout the nation. The data from these sensors have the potential to provide... -
Probabilistic seismic hazard map of Papua New Guinea
Probabilistic seismic hazard map of Papua New Guinea, in terms of Peak Ground Acceleration, is developed for return period of 475 years. The calculations were performed for... -
Tectonic geomorphology and Holocene uplift rates of the Lae Urban Area,...
The city of Lae is Papua New Guinea (PNG)’s second largest, and is the home of PNG’s largest port. Here, a convergence rate of ~50 mm/yr between the South Bismarck Plate and the... -
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment of Papua New Guinea: 2019 revision
Papua New Guinea (PNG) lies in a belt of intense tectonic activity that experiences high levels of seismicity. Although this seismicity poses significant risks to society, the... -
Indonesia's Historical Earthquakes: Modelled examples for improving the...
With a population of over 250 million people, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world (United Nations, 2013). Indonesia also experiences more earthquakes than... -

The 2006 Earthquake Swarm in the Sulu Range, Central New Britain, Papua New Guinea
On 6th July 2006, an intense swarm of earthquake activity began in the Sulu Range, Central New Britain, Papua New Guinea. The earthquakes were felt almost every one to two... -
Community-based Seismic Monitoring Network of Papua New Guinea
The Papua New Guinea (PNG) region has been formed within an oblique convergence zone between the north-northeasterly moving Australian plate and the Pacific plate. The region is... -
The 30th September 2009 Sumatra Earthquake Padang Region Damage Survey
On the 30th September 2009 a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck West Sumatra in the Padang and Pariaman regions. It caused widespread damage to buildings and resulted and an... -
Australian atmospheric pressure and sea level data during the 2022 Hunga...
On January 15, 2022, an ongoing eruption at the Hunga volcano generated a large explosion which resulted in a globally observed tsunami and atmospheric pressure wave. This paper... -
A tsunami scenario for Nuku'alofa, Tonga
Tsunami hazard modelling for Tonga shows the potential impacts of tsunami generated by a very large earthquake on the nearby Tongan Trench. -
Seismic hazard mapping of Papua New Guinea — 2019 revision
In this study, we performed a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) for Papua New Guinea (Figure 1) to underpin a revision of the seismic zoning map for the national... -
