Tsunami impact, education and community consultation in the communities of...
The Natural Hazard Impacts Project (NHIP) at Geoscience Australia has developed modelling techniques that enable coastal inundation to be predicted during a tsunami. A... -
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... -
Tsunami Animations Compilation Movie 2013
A compilation of short animations, describing the key processes involved in tsunami generation. -
Tsunami Animation - Volcanic Generation
Tsunamis can be produced from volcanoes in a number of ways. During a volcanic eruption, hot fast moving bodies of gas and rock (known as pyroclastic flows) can travel into the... -
Towards spatially distributed quantitative assessment of tsunami inundation models
In this paper a new benchmark for tsunami model validation is pro- posed. The benchmark is based upon the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which provides a uniquely large amount of... -
2004 Indian Ocean tsunami explanatory animations and illustrations
A selection of images and short animations explaining key aspects of the 2004 Indian Ocean/ Sumatra tsunami, revised and issued for release to the media and other interested... -
NSW Continental Slope Survey - Post Cruise Report
This cross agency report, highlights the areas of the central NSW continental slope prone to sediment mass wasting over time. It includes the critical factors which contribute... -
Tsunami Awareness brochure
Colour brochure about tsunami awareness and what to do in case of a tsunami threat. This pamphlet is produced jointly by Emergency Management Australia, Geoscience Australia and... -
Tsunami Animation - Shoaling
As the tsunami leaves the deep water of the open ocean and approaches the shallower waters near the coast, it slows down and may grow in height depending on the shape of the... -
A global probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment
Large tsunami occur infrequently but have the capacity to cause enormous numbers of casualties, damages to the built environment, critical infrastructure, and economic losses. A... -
A Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment of the Southwest Pacific Nations
The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004 and subsequent smaller events (off Nias in 2005, Java in 2006 and the Solomon Islands in 2007) have increased awareness among... -

A Probabilistic Assessment of Tsunami Hazard in the Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 26, 2004 made starkly evident the need for better information on tsunami hazard in the Indian Ocean. The tsunami threat faced by Indian... -

Tsunami Animation - Propagation
As the tsunami moves across the open ocean it is almost undetectable on the ocean surface. In this example, the tsunami waves are only about half a metre high but have a... -
Australian seismological report, 1997
The report summarises earthquake and tsunami information worldwide in 1997 but with a focus on Australia for use by scientists, engineers and the public. Maps of the seismicity... -
The effect of uncertainty in earthquake fault parameters on the maximum wave...
We have run several thousand tsunami propagation models in order to determine the effect of uncertainty in an earthquake's rupture parameters (specifically strike, dip, rake,... -
The Aitape Papua New Guinea earthquake and tsunami - 1998
On 17 July 1998, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked the north coast region of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The Aitape tsunami took over 2000 lives, caused extensive damage to houses... -
Tsunami variability from stochastic earthquake models: Tests against...
Stochastic earthquake-tsunami models (SETMs) are widely used to simulate hypothetical tsunamis and their variability. Different SETMs can produce tsunamis with substantially... -
