Defining an active fault in the Australian intraplate context, with some...
Defining a neotectonic fault in the intraplate context is relatively straightforward - the fault must have hosted displacement in the current crusta stress regime. Defining an... -

Style and timing of late Quaternary faulting on the Lake Edgar Fault,...
Geomorphic mapping of the ~30 km Lake Edgar fault scarp in SW Tasmania suggests that three large surface-rupturing events with vertical displacements of 2.4 - 3.1 m have... -
Investigation of hot gas emissions from Koranga volcano, Papua New Guinea, in 1967
Hot emissions of mainly sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide took place from a mound in Koranga open cut, near Wau, following a landslide at the end of May, 1967. Rocks of the... -
Community risk in Gladstone: a multi-hazard risk assessment
The report is the fourth in a series of multi-hazard case studies by the Geoscience Australia Cities Project. It is a summary report which considers tropical cyclone, including... -
Natural hazards and the risks they pose to Southeast Queensland
Community risk within the Southeast Queensland region is investigated for: tropical cyclones and storm tide, east coast lows, thunderstorms, tropical cyclones and severe wind,... -
A Regional Review of Coastal Hazards Along the South West Coast of Western Australia
The south-west coast of Western Australia is made up of a series of exposed limestone headlands which are prone to the development of cliff lines and large overhangs. Coastal... -

Quantitive landslide risk assessment of Cairns
This is a report describing a quantitative landslide risk assessment carried out in the Cairns area as part of the AGSO Cities Project. The study objective is to provide... -
Self consistent fault scaling: extension to continental strike-slip faults
Whilst there is no data available to constrain the relations for SCR strike-slip faults there is a demand for these relations in the interpretation of scarps from palaeo-... -
Temporal clustering of surface ruptures on stable continental region faults:...
A characteristic of Australian stable continental region (SCR) faults appears to be the temporal clustering of surface rupturing earthquakes. With the possible exception of... -
Cyclone Larry Forum Report - James Cook University - Townsville Campus, 7 April 2006
Cyclone Larry Forum was held at James Cook University, Townsville Campus on 7 April 2006. Preliminary results from post-impact surveys conducted in the aftermath of Severe... -
The Cadell Fault, southeastern Australia: a record of temporally clustered...
The Cadell Fault, found in stable continental region (SCR) crust in southeastern Australia, provides a record of temporally clustered morphogenic earthquakes spanning much of... -
Stochastic ground-motion prediction equations for southeastern Australian...
Stochastic finite-fault ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) are developed for the stable continental region of southeastern Australia (SEA). The models are based on... -
Community risk in Mackay: a multi hazard risk assessment
Mackay, in Central Queensland, lies about mid way between Brisbane and Cairns and with a resident population around 71,400. The Mackay urban area, which is the focus of this... -
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... -
Impacts of climate change on tropical cyclone hazard: current understanding...
There has been much debate on the influence climate change may have on global tropical cyclone activity (Webster et al. 2005, Landsea 2005, Emanuel 2005, Knutson et al. 2001),... -
Tectonic geomorphology of Australia
The Australian continent is actively deforming in response to far-field stresses generated by plate boundary interactions and buoyancy forces associated with mantle dynamics. On...
