Disaster Data Collection
A natural disaster event can stretch emergency personnel to breaking point. However, at the very time that the community is most pre-occupied with response, important but... -
A preliminary seismicity model for southwest Western Australia based on...
Seismic hazard assessment in Australia is based on the fundamental assumption that past earthquake activity is the key to what we might expect in the future. However, the... -
Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program and Geothermal Energy Project
Work at the Bureau of Mineral Resources (now Geoscience Australia) in the early 1990s was instrumental in bringing hot rocks geothermal research and development to Australia.... -
Impact of Landslides in Australia to June 1999
In the following discussion the term 'landslides' is used in a very broad sense to include rock falls, topples, flows of solid material and slow movements of a few tens of... -
Floods: Hazards, modelling and risk assessment
Floods are estimated to be the most costly natural disaster in Australia. The average direct annual cost of flooding between 1967 and 1999 has been estimated at A$314 million... -
Community Vulnerability to Natural Hazards: Contributing to total risk assessment
The impact of natural hazards on Australian communities can be devastating. After such events, the devastation is commonly measured in terms of costs to property, businesses and... -
Distribution, abundance and trail characteristics of acorn worms at...
Acorn worms (Enteropneusta), which were previously thought to be a missing link in understanding the evolution of chordates, are an unusual and potentially important component... -
Next Generation Australian Datum
Within the coming decade it is anticipated that GNSS will be capable of providing pseudorange-based positioning services with an uncertainty (1-sigma) of 3 cm (open sky) and 15... -
Structural and Stratigraphic Architecture of Australia's Frontier Onshore...
The Onshore Energy Security Program, funded by the Australian Government and conducted by Geoscience Australia, has acquired deep seismic reflection data, in conjunction with... -
An enhancement of earthquake vulnerability models for Australian residential...
Geoscience Australia (GA) has developed the Earthquake Risk Model (EQRM) as an open source software for probabilistic earthquake hazard and risk assessment. In the EQRM... -
Supporting Australia's geothermal industry through provision of...
Australia's emergent geothermal energy industry is growing rapidly. So far, 29 companies have applied for geothermal exploration licenses. The majority of these companies are... -
Architecture of the Arrowie Basin, South Australia, Based on Deep Seismic...
The Arrowie Basin in South Australia represents the last phase of sedimentation in the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Adelaide Rift System. As part of the Onshore Energy Security... -
Distribution of Igneous Facies and Results of Potential Field Modelling of...
Recently acquired seismic reflection and gravity potential field data was used to investigate the distribution of volcanic facies and large scale structural architecture of the... -
Space-geodetic determination of surface deformation due to resource...
Abstract submitted to the 2013 DLR TerraSAR-X science team meeting to be held in Oberpfaffenhoffen in Germany, 10-12 June 2013. The abstract describes progress relating to the... -
Groundwater and Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide
The geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) is the process whereby CO2 captured from power plants or other industrial facilities is transported by pipeline to a suitable... -
Large-scale exploration targeting for uranium mineral systems within the...
The Eromanga Basin has the potential to contain significant sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation. Publicly available geophysical and geochemical datasets have been integrated... -
Rates of seismogenic landscape change in intraplate Australia
Australia is one of the lowest, flattest, most arid, and most slowly eroding continents on Earth (Quigley et al. 2010). The average elevation of the continent is only c. 330 m... -
Miocene volcanic seamounts on northern Lord Howe Rise: lithology, age,...
Multibeam sonar swath-mapping has revealed small submarine volcanic cones on the northeastern Lord Howe Rise (LHR), a submerged ribbon continent. Two such cones, aligned NNW and...
