Southwest Australia Seismic Network (SWAN): recording earthquakes in...
The geological structure of southwest Australia comprises a rich, complex record of Precambrian cratonization and Phanerozoic continental breakup. Despite the stable continental... -
A Far-Field Ground-Motion Model for Northern Australia from Plate Margin Earthquakes
At its nearest, northern Australia is just over 400 km from an active convergent plate margin. This complex and unique tectonic region combines active subduction and the... -
The Mw 5.9 Woods Point Earthquake: A Preliminary Investigation of the Ground...
The 22 September 2021 (AEST) moment magnitude MW 5.9 Woods Point earthquake was the largest in the state of Victoria’s recorded history. The ground motions were felt throughout... -
The 2018 Lake Muir earthquake sequence, south west Western Australia:...
Modern geodetic and seismic monitoring tools are enabling study of moderate-sized earthquake sequences in unprecedented detail. Here we use a variety of methods to examine... -
Earthquake Scenario Selection Tool
The Earthquake Scenario Selection is an interactive tool for querying, visualising and downloading earthquake scenarios. There are over 160 sites nationally with pre-generated... -
Source and Attenuation Properties of the 2012 Moe Earthquake Sequence,...
The local magnitude ML 5.4 (MW 5.1) Moe earthquake on 19 June 2012 that occurred within the Australian stable continental region was the largest seismic event for the state of... -
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... -
Does PSHA Meet the Needs for Modern Engineering Design In Australia?
Damaging earthquakes in Australia and other regions characterised by low seismicity are considered low probability, high consequence events. Uncertainties in modeling earthquake... -
A pragmatic approach to adjusting early instrumental local magnitudes for...
Prior to the development of Australian-specific magnitude formulae, the 1935 magnitude corrections by Charles Richter – originally developed for southern California – was almost... -
Exploring Australian Hazard Map Exceedance Using an Atlas of Historical ShakeMaps
Seismic hazard models, commonly produced through probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, are used to establish earthquake loading requirements for the built environment. However,... -
New Zealand Community Fault Model – version 1.0
There has been a long-identified need in New Zealand for a community-developed three-dimensional model of active faults that is accessible and available to all. Over the past... -
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... -
Engineering Ground-Motion Database for Western and Central Australia
A database of recordings from moderate-to-large magnitude earthquakes is compiled for earthquakes in western and central Australia. Data are mainly recorded by Australian... -
