Abstract
Tectono-geomorphic landscape features in Australia, many of which are neotectonic, can be interpreted in the context of long-term patterns of large earthquake occurrence, and used to inform contemporary earthquake hazard science. Such features often represent our only means of defining seismic source parameters such as fault slip-rate, large earthquake recurrence and magnitude. They therefore provide an avenue for extending the short historic catalogue of seismicity to timeframes commensurate with the slow strain accumulation rates characteristic of intraplate environments (Clark et al., 2012). In addition to supporting seismic hazard assessment, an analysis of tectono-geomorphic landscape evolution might also be used to inform studies in a range of other disciplines. Here we present the example of the Avonmore Scarp in the Campaspe River valley of north-central Victoria, a tectono-geomorphic (and neotectonic) feature which has implications not only for seismic hazard in central Victoria, but also for mineral and groundwater resources.
