Earthquake recordings in Australia are a crucial input to a wide range of applications in seismology and earthquake engineering. In particular, earthquake recordings are critical for robust estimation of earthquake magnitudes, earthquake hazard assessment, and dynamic structural analysis. The expansion of permanent monitoring networks (e.g., Australian National Seismograph Network) and deployment of temporary seismic networks in Australia over the past few decades has resulted in a significant increase in the number of earthquake ground motion recordings, particularly for moderate magnitude events. The volume of new data means there is now a need to store these recorded data and metadata in standard format in a comprehensive, searchable, national ground motion database. Recently, we developed a ground-motion database for earthquakes in cratonic regions of western and central Australia, as well as non-cratonic southeastern Australia. We also developed an associated graphical user interface tool to process and visualise the ground-motion data. This tool can also store the processed waveforms in the database. Work is ongoing at Geoscience Australia to develop a web delivery portal to provide end-users direct access to Australian ground-motion data. This web-based portal would enable end-users to search the ground-motion database based on key earthquake, station, and waveform parameters in a user-friendly platform. Providing public access to these data will facilitate greater use of ground-motion recordings to inform various applications including seismic hazard assessment and dynamic structural analysis.
