Earthquakes are a threat to life and property in Australia as demonstrated by the 1989 Newcastle earthquake (McCue & others, 1990). This report contains information on earthquakes of Richter magnitude 3 or greater reported in the Australian region during 1992. It is the thirteenth of an annual series compiled by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO), using data from AGS0 and contributing seismological agencies in Australia. Its purposes are to aid the study of earthquake risk in Australia, and to provide information on Australian and world earthquakes for scientists, engineers and the general public. The report has six main sections: Australian region earthquakes; Isoseismal maps; Accelerograph data; Principle world earthquakes; and Monitoring of nuclear explosions.
