Geological mapping with GeoModeller

Map produced for the Australian Government Solicitor in December 2008 showing the Torres Strait Regional Claim (Q6040 of 2001) as mofidied and the Western Skipjack Fishery. For confidental/internal use by AGS and not for general release.

This map shows the area of the Eastern South Australia Trawl Closure within the Commonwealth Trawl Sector (also known as the South East Trawl Fishery (SETF)) of the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery. Developed as per the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery (Closures) Direction 2008 - Schedule 22. Produced for the Australian Fisheries Management Authority. Not for public sale or distribution by GA.

Measuring vulnerability to hazards is necessary to understand the true extent of risk. Determining social vulnerability relies on the integration of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Qualitative approaches explore the capacity of communities to manage risk. Quantitative methods integrate data and analytical processes to develop vulnerability measures. Geoscience Australia (GA) has developed tools for modelling natural hazards and assessing vulnerability, building exposure (NEXIS) and infrastructure resilience (CIPMA). Work on social vulnerability began with the Cities Project in 1996. In 2008 GA developed a new method for assessing social vulnerability, within the Critical Infrastructure Project (CIP). CIP takes an all hazards approach to vulnerability, to include impacts like lifeline disruption. This paper discusses a quantitative method for measuring social vulnerability to hazards. The method uses nationally available data to assess individual communities - relative vulnerability. The method allows for a standard approach to identifying highly vulnerable areas.
