Paleoseismology of the 2016 MW 6.1 Petermann earthquake source: Implications...
The 20 May 2016 MW 6.1 Petermann earthquake in central Australia generated a 21 km surface rupture with 0.1 to 1 m vertical displacements across a low-relief landscape. No... -
Extirpations and extinctions: a plant microfossil-based history of the...
Sites recording the extinction or extirpation of tropical–subtropical and cool–cold temperate rainforest genera during the Plio–Pleistocene aridification of Australia are... -
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... -
An Updated Fourier Spectral Attenuation Model for Southwestern Western Australia
Earthquake ground-motion data recorded on the South-West Australia (seismic) Network (SWAN) are augmented to existing ground-motion datasets for the southwest Western Australian... -
Systematic Estimation of Earthquake Source Parameters for Continental...

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 sources of the Australian plate margin: data for the 2018...
This ecat record refers to the data described in ecat record 123048. The data, supplied in shapefile format, is an input to the 2018 National Seismic Hazard Assessment for... -
Seismology Down Under - Developing Engineering Ground-Motion Databases in...
Australia is a continent that is characterised by low seismicity and low seismic hazard relative to many other regions globally. Because of the continent’s perceived low... -
Reviewing the 1 March 1954 Adelaide Earthquake, South Australia
The 1 March 1954 earthquake in South Australia is the most damaging earthquake to impact the densely populated Adelaide region since European settlement. Previous... -
Ground-motion models for the 6th Generation Seismic Hazard Model of Canada
The 6th Generation seismic hazard model of Canada is being developed to generate seismic design values for the 2020 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC2020). Ground-motion... -

Yes, earthquakes happen in Australia - are we prepared?
People in Australia are surprised to learn that hundreds of earthquakes occur below our feet every year. The majority are too small to feel, let alone cause any damage. Despite... -
Expert elicitation of model parameters for the 2018 National Seismic Hazard...
The 2018 National Seismic Hazard Assessment (NSHA18) aims to provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive understanding of seismic hazard in Australia. As such, NSHA18 includes... -
Exploring Australian Hazard Map Exceedance Using an Atlas of Historical ShakeMaps
This paper explores several area-based tests of long-term seismic hazard forecasts for the Australian continent. Using the observed seismicity, ShakeMaps are calculated for... -
A record of stable continental region earthquakes from Western Australia...
In plate boundary regions moderate to large earthquakes are often sufficiently frequent that fundamental seismic parameters such as the recurrence intervals of large earthquakes... -
