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... -
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... -
2018 National Tropical Cyclone Hazard Assessment Data- Derived Geo-spatial Product
The wind hazard posed to Australia based on the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones making landfall around the Australian coastline has been assessed using Tropical... -
Analysis of earthquakes using real map and data sets
Students can access and analyse real world earthquake data using online portals created by Geoscience Australia (GA) (Geoscience Australia data portal and Earthquakes@GA). The... -
Tropical Cyclone Impact Modelling System
This dynamic dataset is composed of data layers representing the potential damage arising from the impacts of Tropical Cyclone (TC) related winds on residential houses. The... -
Earthquake forecasting from paleoseismic records
Forecasting large earthquakes along active faults is of critical importance for seismic hazard assessment. Statistical models of recurrence intervals based on compilations of... -
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... -
Open source flood simulation with a 2D discontinuous-elevation hydrodynamic model
A new finite volume algorithm to solve the two dimensional shallow water equations on an unstructured triangular mesh has been implemented in the open source ANUGA software,... -

Sites recording the extinction or extirpation of tropical–subtropical and cool–cold temperate rainforest genera during the Plio–Pleistocene aridification of Australia are... -
Using scenario simulation to inform disaster preparedness: scenario...
The Severe Wind Hazard Assessment project aims to provide DFES with intelligence on the scale of impacts that could arise from major tropical cyclone events in communities along... -
Neotectonic constraint on models of strain localisation within Australian...
The mechanisms that lead to the localisation of stable continental region (SCR) seismicity, and strain more generally, remain poorly understood. Recent work has emphasised... -
