Resolving the location and magnitude of the 1918 Queensland (Bundaberg)...
Eastern Queensland (Australia) was struck by a major earthquake at ≈04:14 a.m. local time on 7 June 1918. Most previous studies have suggested that the epicenter of this... -

Reflections on the NSHA18: rethinking future seismic hazard assessments for Australia
An updated National Seismic Hazard Assessment of Australia was released in 2018 (the NSHA18). This assessment leveraged off advances in earthquake-hazard science in Australia... -
