Maps of Australia. The map is based on the most recent USGS models for the conterminous U.S. Geoscience Aus tralia: Canberra. The data obtained from active source studies are archived at IRIS and/or at the National Geophysical Data Center.USGS also provides access to certain data sets.

Earthquake hazard map showing peak ground accelerations having a 2 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years, for a firm rock site. General and thematic maps of Australia including outline maps, bathymetric maps, geophysical maps and geological maps. ShakeMap is a product of the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program in conjunction with the regional seismic networks.

However, the rate of the deformation of the Australian continent is faster than other stable intraplate regions, such as Eastern North America and Africa. The map is a simplification of the National Building Code of Canada seismic hazard map for spectral acceleration at a 0.2 second period (5 cycles per second), and shows the ground motions that might damage one- to two-storey buildings. "Seismic design requirements for regions of moderate seismicity". Seismic activity in Australia is categorised as low to moderate. The hazard maps used to develop building codes are also frequently used to inform the hazard component of catastrophe models.

Detailed information about landslide occurrence is the foundation for advancing process understanding, susceptibility mapping, and risk reduction. Despite the recent revolution in digital elevation data and remote sensing technologies, landslide mapping remains resource intensive. We present here a description of the OpenQuake-engine implementation of the model. The common purpose of the Atlas and exposure catalog is to calibrate earthquake loss models to be used in the US Geological Survey’s Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER). Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2011 Conference, 18-20 November, Barossa Valley, South Australia The Gaull et al. Atlas of Seismic Hazard Maps of Australia Seismic hazard maps, hazard curves and hazard spectra. Geoscience Australia has recently released the 2012 version of the National Earthquake Hazard Map of Australia. The NSHA18 is freely accessible and is now available to download. GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA RECORD 2013/41. The common purpose of the Atlas and exposure catalog is to calibrate earthquake loss models to be used in the US Geological Survey’s Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER). ... Geoscience Australia has released a new National Seismic Hazard Assessment - the NSHA18.


Geoscience Australia has recognised the importance of the seismic technique since the late 1940s and is a world leader in integrating seismic data with other Earth imaging and surface geology datasets to understand mineral and petroleum systems. (1990) Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Maps As identified in the Commentary document for AS1170.4-2007 (Standards Australia 2007b) and The seismic hazard level at the area of interest could be evaluated from the Atlas of Seismic Hazard Maps of Australia (Leonard et al.2013).
