Abstract
The Australian Tsunami Database (ATDB) was commissioned by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation as part of a national database of natural hazards in Australia. Its scope, however, is broader with data for the Southwest Pacific, Southeast Asia and Australia. The ATDB aims to furher understanding of the tsunami hazard in these regions by presenting the data from myriad source in a single comprehensive resource that is both accessible and useful. The ATDB is constructed in Borland Paradox for Windows, a relational database that facilitates easy data entry and data extraction. The ATDB contains information regarding tsunami dates, time, locations, effects and comments, and is designed so that it can be linked to the earthquake database run by teh Australian Seismological Centre.
