From Offshore to Onshore probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment with...
Offshore probabilistic tsunami hazard assessments (PTHAs) are increasingly available for earthquake generated tsunamis. They provide standardized representations of tsunami... -
Development of tsunami hazard maps for the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia,...
Heterogeneous distribution of slip during megathrust earthquakes has been shown to significantly affect the spatial distribution of tsunami height in both numerical studies and... -
Sensitivity of Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment to Far-Field...
Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) often proceeds by constructing a suite of hypothetical earthquake scenarios, and modelling their tsunamis and occurrence-rates.... -
NSW-wide probabilistic tsunami inundation hazards from subduction earthquakes
Tsunamis are a low-frequency yet potentially high-consequence hazard, with impacts growing rapidly with the flow depth and inundation extent. For this reason, tsunami risk... -
An Empirical Fatality Model for Indonesia Based on a Bayesian Approach
Many earthquakes in Indonesia have caused a large number of fatalities. Disaster risk-reduction of fatalities requires a representative fatality model derived from fatality data... -
WA tsunami inundation modelling, Geraldton to Dunsborough, model outputs in...
A zip folder is provided containing key model outputs (in GIS formats) for the study "WA tsunami inundation modelling, Geraldton to Dunsborough". NOTE FOR WINDOWS USERS:The... -
Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Risk Analysis: A Review of Research Gaps
Tsunamis are unpredictable and infrequent but potentially large impact natural disasters. To prepare, mitigate and prevent losses from tsunamis, probabilistic hazard and risk... -
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... -
Reflections from Sendai: lessons for Australia
It's hard to believe eight years has passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred that devastated so much of Japan. In November, I was very fortunate to participate in... -
Science and technology for disaster management: Highlights from completing a...
Indonesia is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. For 10 years the Australian and Indonesian governments, science agencies and universities, have partnered to... -
Tsunami Guide for Queensland
In 2017, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) completed the State Natural Hazard Risk Assessment which evaluated the risks presented to Queensland by seven in-scope... -
Earthquakes and tsunamis caused by low-angle normal faulting in the Banda...
As the world’s largest archipelagic country in Earth’s most active tectonic region, Indonesia faces a substantial earthquake and tsunami threat. Understanding this threat is a... -
Tsunami in Australia: challenging assumptions, building preparedness
University of Newcastle researchers captured media attention in 2017 with the release of a study modelling tsunami risk for the city of Sydney. The study considered a range of... -

National Guidelines for Tsunami Hazard Modelling: A collaboration between...
Tsunamis are relatively rare in Australia and emergency managers rely on the sharing of information at national forums to assist them to manage the tsunami risk in their own... -
Tongatapu probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment
A probabilistic tsunami hazard assessement (PTHA) was developed for the island of Tongatapu, All modelled tsunamis were initiated by hypothetical thrust earthquakes on the... -
Australian atmospheric pressure and sea level data during the 2022 Hunga...
On January 15, 2022, an ongoing eruption at the Hunga volcano generated a large explosion which resulted in a globally observed tsunami and atmospheric pressure wave. This paper... -
Seismic Monitoring at Geoscience Australia
Geoscience Australia (GA) builds, maintains and operates the Australian National Seismic Network and Urban Monitoring Network across the Australian continent, its territories... -
A tsunami scenario for Nuku'alofa, Tonga
Tsunami hazard modelling for Tonga shows the potential impacts of tsunami generated by a very large earthquake on the nearby Tongan Trench. -
Assessing tsunami hazard using heterogeneous slip models in the Mentawai...
Tsunami hazard maps are generated for the Mentawai Islands, West Sumatra, Indonesia, to support evacuation and disaster response planning. A random heterogeneous slip generator...
