Seismic hazard modeling is a multidisciplinary science that aims to forecast earthquake
occurrence and its resultant ground shaking. Such models consist of a probabilistic …

The unusual present-day crustal stress pattern of the Australian continent has been the
subject of scientific debate for over 25 years. The orientation of maximum horizontal present …

The loss of life and economic consequences caused by several recent earthquakes
demonstrate the importance of develo** seismically safe building codes. The …

Elastic rebound theory forms the basis of the standard earthquake cycle model and predicts
large earthquakes to recur regularly through cycles of strain accumulation and release. Yet …

Uncertainty concerning the processes responsible for slip-rate fluctuations associated with
temporal clustering of surface faulting earthquakes is a fundamental, unresolved issue in …

In seismic hazard assessment, subsurface geophysical surveying has gained popularity in
recent years towards fault map** and determining seismic deformation parameters such …

We present the results of a paleoseismic study of the Akatore Fault in the low seismicity
region of Otago, New Zealand. Two trenches reveal at least three reverse fault ruptures that …

Geoscience Australia, together with contributions from the wider Australian seismology
community, have produced the 2023 National Seismic Hazard Assessment (NSHA23) …

A shallow Mw 5.3 earthquake near Lake Muir in the stable continental region (SCR) crust of
southwest Western Australia on the 16 September 2018 was followed on the 8 November by …

Palaeoseismic records and seismological data from continental interiors increasingly show
that these areas of slow strain accumulation are more subject to seismic and associated …
